Hi all, We are trying to interface our WLAN driver with GNOME on an OMAP board.
Description of problem: The WLAN driver works without problem when we run it from the command line interface. Even IFCONFIG command confirms that WLAN interface is alive and kicking (WLAN gets listed along with eth0 and LO interface). However, GNOME-Networkmanager doesn't recognize WLAN interface and thus doesn't show a list of available wireless networks to choose from. But, eth0 interface gets listed by the GNOME-NetworkManager. Here are a few of the checks that we have done Here is the result of "lshal | grep net" udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_08_00_28_01_24_6d' info.capabilities = {'net', 'net.80203'} (string list) info.category = 'net.80203' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_08_00_28_01_24_6d' (string) linux.subsystem = 'net' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/net/eth0' (string) net.80203.mac_address = 8796764185709 (0x8002801246d) (uint64) net.address = '08:00:28:01:24:6d' (string) net.arp_proto_hw_id = 1 (0x1) (int) net.interface = 'eth0' (string) net.linux.ifindex = 2 (0x2) (int) net.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_smc91x' (string) net.physical_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_smc91x' (string This implies that HAL does not recognize our WLAN interface. And, here is what "/sys/class/net# tree" has to say, /sys/class/net . |-eth0 |---power |---statistics |-irda0 |---power |---statistics |-lo |---power |---statistics |-tiwlan0 |---power |---statistics |---wireless Our questions, 1. Are we missing something in the WLAN driver (e.g. entry in some device related structure etc.) or the problem lies somewhere else? 2. Are there any configurations that are needed to make HAL aware of WLAN interface? Can somebody kindly throw some light on the missing link here? thanks, pradeep. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/GNOME-fails-to-recognize-WLAN-interface-tp22621768p22621768.html Sent from the Gnome - NetworkManager mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
