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.

Ah! That's what I needed to know. My script could work, but I still don't know if you have ttyS0 running as well. My hunch is that you entered something other than "ps ax | grep tty" or that you weren't using the wireless when you ran the above.

That's cool. So, next time you do run that script, I'd suggest you maybe background it with an ampersand at the end of the command line, or so something to see if you have ttyS0 also running.

But can you try the "ps ax | grep pppd" and see what you get when you are not using wireless? And show the command you entered as well as it's output?

Oops...it was my mistake. I see when I run "ps aux | grep pppd" that the tty part gets cut off:

root 31707 0.0 0.5 1984 160 ttyS3 SN 15:41 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd tt

Line was too long <:( Oh well.

Grepping for pppd should cover that...

Cheers,

Ah!  That's what I needed to know.  My script could work, but I still don't know if you have ttyS0 running as well.  My hunch is that you entered something other than "ps ax | grep tty" or that you weren't using the wireless when you ran the above.

Oh - no - I - didn't. :-)) Just to be sure I entered 'ps ax | grep tty' again and got the same result.

That's cool.  So, next time you do run that script, I'd suggest you maybe background it with an ampersand at the end of the command line, or so something to see if you have ttyS0 also running.

I ran the script normally by clicking the icon then opened a console and did the same again and got the same results. Is that sufficient?

I entered 'ps ax | grep pppd' (not using wireless) and the result was:

11087 ttya0 SN 0:00 grep pppd

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?

No. The script that I run is for Kismet only i.e. network scanning and is not used with anything else.
