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;

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.

You are correct.

Very difficult to say. Taking airlogs (ie. sniffing WLAN packets) and sending them here might help. Most likely it's a some kind IOP problem between 770 and AP. What AP are you using and what are the settings? -- Kalle Valo ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: [maemo-users] Connect to WLAN from command line
Hi, Marius and all Is there a way to figure out why the 770 is timing out on the DHCP request, when, for example, my Window XP laptop with WIFI isnt. Moreover, is there a known remedy to this 770 timing-out behaviour apart from terminating the connection and re-connecting? Is there a power-up latency for the wifi subsystem of about 20 minutes after which it (mysteriously) starts connecting on time? Whats up with this recurring and nagging problem?
