Wpa-gui Backported To Sharprom Options

[enodr]

I have been looking for this one for ages, so I did it myself! It's really a pain to backport QT3 apps to QPE but when it works it's so cool (took me the afternoon...).

So here it is, the first real GUI for easy Wifi under Sharprom!



I still need to make a few tweakings so that everything fits on a the Zaurus display, then I'll post the file.

Just retired & decided to see if I could get my Zaurus 3200 with Cacko ROM using your setting but they did not work for me.

Also had a look at the wifi settings are stored in files in /home/zaurus/Applications/Network/modules but could not see anything relevant.

I used Hex PSK so left out the double quotes.

Any suggestions?

er, I'm a bit lost. basically, to do wpa manually you add the WPA=y to /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts file into the relevant section - take a backup copy of the file beforehand. The qtopia config app can overwrite that file so be prepared to put it back.

then edit/create the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file.

you see, cacko hasn't modified the original sharp qtopia app to have an option for WPA as there's no source code, hence adding the flag manually; the actual network up/down stuff is shell scripts so cacko picks up the WPA flag and takes appropriate action.
