Suggestions and criticism are also wanted (Makes it much easier to improve the app )

I am also still looking for a logo, so if anybody cares to share artistic/Gimping talent, it would be much appreciated.

A very small update. See the first post/changelog for downloads and details.

Hey Capn. Thanks for all of your hard work! I was noticing that the tool searches for hardware listed as wlan0. My card, however is listed as eth0. Could you make switching between the two an option?

Sure. I've been planning some new stuff anyway, so I'll add it in. It may take a while (I just got back from vacation and probably will have stuff to catch up on).

great, thanks again

OK, I got it done, but have been too lazy to get new stuff up. It'll be up soon.

I got the stuff up, but I am thinking there is a higher chance of bugs being present in this release than in previous releases, so post any issues here or PM me with them (compliments, feature requests, and/or comments are welcome as well ).

I seem to be hopping around trying to find the right thread.
Basically I'm trying to get wireless networking (WPA) going on a c1000 with r198. I've flashed the ROM, and installed Meanie's sp8 (which helps a lot!), installed hostap-utils, and followed Capn_fish's instructions Here

Since none of the handy utilities seem to work for me, I'm trying to edit the appropriate files myself and that's the subject of this post.

Network.py from this thread is looking for
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts
/etc/sysconfig/wireless

... none of which exist on my Z.

I'm looking for some way to tell the Z that I have a wireless card at all.
ifup wlan0 returns "No configuration for device wlan0"
I would expect to define wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces, but ther is no such directory.

I'm happy to RTFM but I can't seem to find it!

Help, please?

Walt

the config files you are trying to edit are for 2.4 kernel while you are using a version of pdaXrom with 2.6 kernel.
you need to use the network.py for the new pdaXrom which supports the 2.6 kernel.

also for wpa to work, either your network card has an updated firmware flashed to it permanently or the network config subsystem will upload a firmware each time you try to initialise your network card.

in pdaXii13, this is done automatically, but not yet in the new pdaXrom with 2.6 kernel.

also, appropriate hostap drivers and tools needs to be installed. this is important since installing an older version will break things. r198 already has the latest. wpa-supplicant also needs to be installed and correctly configured. wifi radar can help configure your network since it can handle all kinds of config.
the wlan config tool that capt fish made does a very good job for configuring basic wifi network settings but nothing beyond that.

I found a bug (the interface isn't shut down with the "off" command, "/home/root/Choi: no such interface" or some such error), so don't report that one. I'll update the stuff sometime in the relatively near future.

Capn_Fish · « **Reply #70 on:** August 04, 2007, 04:53:50 pm »

OK, I got the new stuff up.

If you want a new feature, have found a bug, or have a comment, go ahead and post it or PM me with it.
