Title: Help: Oz Doesn't See Internal Wifi
Post by: vorondil28 on March 04, 2006, 05:39:09 pm
Hi all, I'm a new SL-6000L user.  I flashed my unit to OZ/GPE last night and it doesn't seem to "see" the internal WiFi adapter.    It worked fine under the Sharp ROM.  Am I correct in assuming I don't have the proper kernel module installed for it?  If so, I've no clue where to find a package for it.

Can anyone lend a hand?
Thanks in advance.

You need to usbctl on 1 (or vice versa) to power on the internal us bus. this is (again) some proprietary 2.4-crappix thing - kernel 2.6 will make this easier and more standard.

"sh: usbctl: not found"  
...until I found it's in /sbin/, which wasn't in my $PATH.  (?!?)

Anyway, wlan0 shows up after running "/sbin/usbctl on 1".     Thanks!
I take it that to use any USB device (internal or exteral via the host port), I'll need to do the same thing?  Also, after a suspend/resume, it seems I have to do it again.  Is there any way around that?

Thanks in advance.  


***Edit:  I found that if I shut the interface down with "/sbin/ifdown wlan0" before suspending, it will come back up with "ifup wlan0" after resume.  So I suppose the question is: Is there a way to automatically bring down the interface before suspending?  It would also be nice to have it come back up if it was up before suspend (and leave it down if it was down before suspend).

Figured I'd fork this to a new topic.
