I have had the latest available miniroot working with WiFi on the Chromebook, so I know that the tools included in the miniroot are sufficient. > My ( sel-cross-compiled ) kernel ( 3.9.0-rc7 ) detects detects > successfully a plugged in Logilink USB ALAN stick : ifconfig > and iwconfig show wlan0 [..] > > I tried wpa_supplicant call with a wpa_supplicant.conf which runs > fine under Debian but I got no connection. > > Have you any recommendation what I could/must do now to get WiFi > running ? Assuming that you've got the firmware available and loaded (which should be the case if the interface shows up in 'ifconfig'), all I did was: # cat << EOF > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 EOF Then add the network ESSID and password to the wpa supplicant config: # wpa_passphrase ESSID_of_access_point YourWPApass >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf In /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, find the section beginning with this: ## Example config information for wlan0. Uncomment the lines you need and fill ## in your data. (You may not need all of these for your wireless network) IFNAME[4]="mlan0" ### this will change depending on your device's nic name IPADDR[4]="" NETMASK[4]="" USE_DHCP[4]="yes" DHCP_HOSTNAME[4]="icculus-wireless" DHCP_KEEPRESOLV[4]="no" DHCP_KEEPNTP[4]="no" DHCP_KEEPGW[4]="no" DHCP_IPADDR[4]="" WLAN_ESSID[4]=YOURESSID WLAN_MODE[4]=Managed WLAN_RATE[4]="54M auto" WLAN_CHANNEL[4]="auto" WLAN_KEY[4]="YOURWLANKEY" #WLAN_IWPRIV[4]="set AuthMode=WPAPSK | set EncrypType=TKIP | set WPAPSK=YOURWLAKEY" WLAN_WPA[4]="wpa_supplicant" WLAN_WPADRIVER[4]="wext" WLAN_WPAWAIT[4]=10 ------------------------------ You'll need to look through that to make sure you have the correct settings, then you can run /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 and it should bring up your WLAN NIC. -- Stuart Winter Slackware ARM: http://arm.slackware.com _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
