Problem With The New Wifi-radar (1.9.8)

[moe]

I installed the new wifi-radar (1.9. today, and when I run it, it gave me this error message.

Code: [Select]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/wifi-radar", line 26, in ?
import time, os, signal, sys, re. ConfigParsar, threading, socket
ImportError: No module named threading
And I tried to remove the threading in that line.. of course it didn't work

This happens on a Zauri C1000 with PdaXii13.. before this version the wifi-radar works fine..

Is it me or is it a bug?

[moe]

Found the reason.. It needs several more packages to work..
install it from the web and it worked well

Delete this post if the moderator wants to...

i added python-threading to the depends section...

I get the same error as moe in first post.
Does this really need the full python install?
python_2.4.1_armv5tel.ipk 5.99 MB

That makes this package too large to install now. I'll have to go back to wifi-radar 1.9.4
Since I uninstalled and re-installed it, I lost my settings.
Under WPA, what do I use for the name of the driver?
wpa-supplicant ?

EDIT: I should have left this alone, Wifi was working, now is not.
meanie, can you tell a newbie what settings in wifi-radar should be set at. I don't understand some of them.
When I first got this working and connecting, I don't remember how I did it.
I just want to connect to my linksys wireless router and have changed nothing on my router. It's setup with "Personal WPA"
In wifi-radar, what do I set these options to?
------------------------------------------------------------
Network Name
I have my network name entered here.

WiFi Options
Mode (auto)
Channel (auto)
key (xxxxxxxxxxx) from my router
security (open)

Use WPA
driver (wpa-supplicant)

Automatic net config (DHCP) I know this setting works.
-------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT2: I got some more activity by changing a setting in wifi-radar.conf
Change eth0 to wlan0
It still isn't connecting.

EDIT3: I got it to connect by disabling WPA on my router.
I just need to figure out this WPA thing on the Zaurus now...

EDIT4: I think I know how I got connected the very first time now.
I'm such a newb at this networking stuff...  
I have 3 entries in wifi-radar on the main page.
1. my network (that is not the actual name)
2. linksys
3. NETGEAR
I just created a profile for "linksys" and the IP isn't mine  
So I must have been using a neighbor's wireless, and thinking I was connected to my router with WPA enabled.
I have only used this connection twice. I usually use my Cacko Zaurus because I prefer Opera, and it's WPA IS working correctly.
I still cannot connect to my router with my connection in wifi-radar when WPA is enabled on my router.

One more question.
What do the indicators under the wireless monitor stand for?
When I connected to my router while I had the connection "Open" (no WPA), there were 3 green dots, and I could surf the net.
When I connected to that "other" connection "linksys" with a different IP than mine, the 4 dots were red, but I could surf the net. (I had my router switched to WPA this time).

i'm using Wifi-radar 1.9.8
has anyone got wpa_supplicant working with a Buffalo WLI2-CF-S11G?

router doesn't show it even attempting to connect.

I decided to install the latest wifi-radar, but I have one question.
This version needs full python (python_2.4.1_armv5tel.ipk 6MB) installed.
I already have the following python packages installed.
Do I need to uninstall all the below python packages before I install the full python version shown above?

python pkgs already installed:
python-codecs_2.4.1
python-core_2.4.1
python-dbus_0.21
python-fcntl_2.4.1
python-io_2.4.1
python-lang_2.4.1
python-math_2.4.1
python-re_2.4.1
python-stringold_2.4.1
python-unixadmin_2.4.1
python-xml_2.4.1

[Meanie]

the latest wifi radar does not have a dependency on the full python...

This is working. I had to edit wifi-radar.conf and change:
interface = eth0 to wlan0
I haven't tried wpa yet, but it launched and detected 3 wireless spots.

it should be:

interface = auto_detect


and wifi radar will automatically detect the interface for you. most cf wifi cards are detected as wlan0 but some are eth0 so setting it to auto detect allows you to switch cf wifi cards without needing to mess with config file...

By installing these 3, the app starts now. I see that I can add configs but I don't see anything about scanning for wireless networks.
In the message above it said that it detected 3 wireless spots.. this is not happening for me.
Am I missing something?

Thanks
