Wlan is up in the boot through the service wlancond (at /init.d) associated to runlevel 3. The graphical user interaction doesn't allow to set up but configure the values of wlan. So you have to define these in order to wlan starts at runlevel 3 with that configuration. To do that you have to edit file /etc/network/interfaces with the values of the wlan (iface, name, address, essid, etc.). Look at here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html A bit more complicate situation is if wlan is not always the same. In such a situation you must write a script that allows to distinguish between the different wlans (for instance, via comparison of known mac address and sniffed mac addres).
Yes, you're right. Here is an example of this script which I found recently at http://planet.igalia.com: The /etc/network/interfaces could be like this one (being HomeNET and WorkNET two existing ESSID network identifiers): auto eth1 mapping eth1 script /root/WIFI/wldetect.sh map HomeNET HomeNET map WorkNET WorkNET iface HomeNET inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 wireless-essid HomeNET wireless-key s:mysecretpass1 open dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.1 iface WorkNET inet dhcp wireless-essid WorkNET wireless-key s:mysecretpass2 open dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 192.168.100.1 The script /root/WIFI/wldetect.sh lists the available networks and chooses one of them being in a whitelist (HomeNET|WorkNET): #!/bin/sh # Config WL_IFACE=`iwconfig 2>/dev/null | { read A _; echo $A; };` # Reset the interface ifconfig $WL_IFACE down ifconfig $WL_IFACE 0.0.0.0 ifconfig $WL_IFACE up # Search networks NETWORKS=`iwlist $WL_IFACE scanning | grep ESSID | sed -e 's/.*"\(.*\)"/\1/'` # Bring down the interface ifconfig $WL_IFACE down # Select preferred networks for NET in $NETWORKS do case $NET in HomeNEt|WorkNET) echo $NET; exit 0; ;; esac done exit 1; iñ

I'd like to avoid user interaction to up wlan. I use OS 2005. Why not set it to auto connect if you don't want user input...? I need to connect to WLAN right after boot of Nokia. But there is no possibility to configure it. User has to press connect icon to bring up network. -Gary _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users -- Cheers, Michael _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
