Applied, thanks! I also took this opportunity to change the 802-11-wireless device's 'bitrate' property and the 802-3-ethernet device's 'speed' property to uint32 so that everything here is consistent. The D-Bus API has changed accordingly (from 'i' -> 'u' for the nm-device-* members). One inconsistency is that the ethernet device's speed is reported in Mb/s (directly from ethtool, actually) but wireless speeds are in b/s. I think that's OK, because we need finer granularity with wireless, but wired speeds can't be represented in only a uint32. We'll live with it. Dan > Am Montag, 8.

Can you help me on this ? The PS3 wireless driver isn't merged into the upstream kernel yet, and last time I reviewed it (when it was posted to lkml for 2.6.23) it had problems that may have prevented it from being used with NetworkManager. It likely won't work with WPA because the firmware includes a supplicant, and I have no idea how that interacts (possibly badly) with wpa_supplicant, which is what's used on Linux to make WPA connections work.

NM 0.6.x doesn't support multiple interfaces up and active at the same time. That's planned for 0.7 but isn't implemented yet, though it's the next-highest priority.

Re: Wireless Network Controller missing on PS3
Looks like a problem with network manager. Try this: 1: Click on the Network Icon in the top right of the screen and select MANUAL CONFIGURATION 2: Select the wireless icon (top of the two available), then click PROPERTIES Now here is where we enter the wireless information 3: Untick ENABLE ROAMING MODE. under NETWORK NAME AND NETWORK PASSWORD, enter your SSID, KEYTYPE and PASSWORD. 4: go down to CONNECTION SETTINGS. for CONFIGURATION click the box that offers AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION (DHCP) configuration. 5: Click OK, this will take you back out to the NETWORK SETTINGS - CONNECTIONS SCREEN. Select the TICK box for the wireless and then click CLOSE. That should be it and you should now be able to connect to the web. If not reboot and it should work fine. -Jai On Fri, 2007-10-26 at 15:12 +0700, Carlos Andre Camargo wrote: > Please, need your guidance to troubleshoot a problem Ii found here. > > > > I have installed a Ubuntu 7.04 on my PS3, and I am using > NetworkManager Applet 0.6.4 but the system can not display my wireless > card connection.

Re: [PATCH] Fix access point rate for trunk and stable
Hi Dan,
attached is an adopted version of my patch using a uint32 for the rate
property. Please have a look at my inline comments.

The division by 100 is only used in nm-tool to convert the rate to Mb/s.
