Start A Network Connection From The Command Line, SL-C3100 Options

[BarrySamuels]

C3100 with standard Sharp ROM

Can someone give me the required commands to start a specific wireless network connection from the command line please? I want to set up a script to do it.

Barry, I believe your trouble getting the card to go online the next time around is not due to using stop, but because of the qcop Network messages sent by other apps. Do you use a browser when you are connected? Or email or a chat client? Any of them can and may send their own independent messages telling qtopia when they shut down and resulting in extra stops or something getting sent later. Also, if you close your console while you are connected, that can mess things up as well for the next time around. There's nothing wrong with doing it, but it's just one of many things that can affect connections a time or two later, because of the rather whacky way our early qtopias handle network messages.

There are so many things that can interfere with connectivity that it makes more sense to me to wait until you're ready to use kismet to actually do the resetting.

If you want to see what I used to go through to get online because of what Opera 7.30 did to the GUI, see my old post at:

But I know other apps do the stuff as well. Sometimes respawning of an unused tty can screw things up, and that's why I've been asking if you see any ttyS0 in your process listings, and if you actually use it for anything.
