Re: Internet access in the 368

[Americo Damasceno]

My router is a "LinkSys" from Cisco.

I found that it's not only me that have this problem. Look the "Ticket 1223":"I was unable to connect to my unencrypted wifi accesspoint through the sugar interface.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to mesh view, locate access point

2. click access point, watch it blink

3. wait result: 1. internet does not connect

workarounds needed: 1. Went into developer console, looked at /sbin/iwconfig

2. Noticed both msh0 and eth0 are listed as "ad-hoc" and essid="olpc-mesh"

3. Kill networkmanager.

4. Manually change eth0 to managed

5. manually change essid to my SSID

6. manually run dhclient

7. If still failure, try rmmod usb8xxx and modprobe usb8xxx.

This is a pretty big step back. I haven't had this much trouble connecting to wifi in a long time. "

I tried these "solutions" but  they didn't work.

The other "solution" I found at "Sugar release notes":

"New networking UI needs documentation

To choose a network, push the first of the four circular "mesh view" keyboard buttons (or "F1" in an emulator), hover over each triangle until you find the access point you want to associate with, and then click on it. (Note that the access points are color-coded based upon a hash of the AP SSID. Therefore, once you learn the color of your desired access point, you can subsequently find it quickly.) "

 

I tried this also but didn´t work also.

May be the 368 is not so "stable" ...
