Re: om2009 activating wifi
Most of the time I use only one essid, so I have this script to activate wlan: mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy WiFi enabled iwconfig eth0 essid ESSID_NAME ifup eth0 -Aapo Rantalainen ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I did some WiFi brainstorming for a while, however often WiFi does not work out of the box on the freerunner, see some considerations on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/WiFi_Managers If you are lucky this may work for you, but be aware of it pre-pre-pre alpha status and bad inclination from the author to complete or support it :) http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/NWA Regards Nicola ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Yes, if you search the archive you'll find some mdbus or dbus-send examples, or as saied you may use fsoraw.

OK. I dont really understand that last sentence, but thats ok :-) I suppose it means f.e. MoFi could talk to FSO too, if it wanted (perhaps it even does). Is there a way to request WiFi activation from FSO straight from the command line ? thanks, *-pike ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

How it works manually depends on your setup. If you're not using wep or wpa (like i dont), its basicly a combination of the right /etc/network/interfaces, ifup, ifdown (and iwconfig to speed it up). ifup should call udhcpc for you. iwlist is your friend, too. if you are using wep or wpa, i guess you'd need to write a wpa_supplicant. All that is described here http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wireless_Networking except for how to exactly set up /etc/network/interfaces. I figured that out by reading examples... Indeed, it wasnt easy. For me. $2c, *-pike ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

If your WiFi manager requests the WiFi resource directly to FSO you do not need to activate the WiFi in paroli.

Re: om2009 activating wifi
Hi >> One thing you must do, is "ifdown usb0" in the command line. Or "route del default gw 192.168.0.202". But I've removed the default usb route from /etc/networking/. I *never* connect outwards through usb. I use a mac. So I dont have to do that anymore. What I tried to say is, its all working fine now .. except I have to 'activate' the wifi driver in paroli first. Before that, eth0 is just completely non-existant as a device; ifup,ifdown,iwconfig and friends will just not see it. eth0 - no such device. So the question is, what does "activate" mean in paroli ? what does it do ? thanks, *-pike ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
