turning wifi off
Hello, I think this applies to all distros. It's still a big mistery for me how to turn off wifi after you used it so it doesn't drain power. Or even better turn it off when the phone is suspended and then turn it on again. I tried 'iwconfig eth0 essid none', 'ifconfig eth0 down', but the phone is still draining a lot of power and the wifi icon is still on in Om2008.12. I'm looking for a command line solution, but if there's a great app that manages the wifi and turns it off correctly I'd be happy to use it. Thanks, Michal -- Speak Up.

Re: turning wifi off
It looks like wifi can be turned on and off using the framework now. It uses wmiconfig as below: wmiconfig -i eth0 --wlan enable wmiconfig -i eth0 --wlan disable See: http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerControl.html;hb=HEAD http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=framework.git;a=commit;h=59855d9afbcf60f19b31042bfd95528b8f165419 Peter.

Shouldn't it use also wmiconfig -i eth0 --setreassocmode 0 to allow scanning and connecting again? BTW the 2.6.28 kernel should have also another way to disable the wlan by using a /sys node (if I don't remember wrong, it should do something like a rmmod wifi-module, insmod wifi-module). -- Treviño's World - Life and Linux http://www.3v1n0.net/ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
