I'm trying to use this package (airport-utils) to try to configure my Airport Extreme. I was able to install it without a problem using apt-get but when I try to use it nothing happens. Literally, nothing:

shreyas@shreyas-laptop:~$ airport2-portinspector 
shreyas@shreyas-laptop:~$

No windows open, nothing. I tried calling ps aux and grepping for anything that might hint to the command actually doing something but I came up empty.

Does anyone have any experience with this package and can help me, or is there something else I can do to work with my Airport Extreme?
