Wireless

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I\'m unfamiler with 802.11x and have been learning about it with my zaurus and comparing some results to someone I know whom has a pocketpc. I just had a few questions.

First I notice my friend has a utility that shows him a list of all access points that are broadcasting their SSID and ask him which he would like to join. It also lets him switch between those AP\'s. Is there anything like this for the zaurus? If not can someone point me in the right direction on how this is handled in OZ so I can start codeing something to handle this.

Lets say theres several AP\'s that broadcast their ssid in the area. Which do I connect to first and how can I disconnect my card from that one to switch to another. If I leave range when I\'ve already connected to that AP does it still keep that one or does it look for others?

Also is it possible or is there a program to keep a list of SSID\'s that maybe even a user defines and connect to one of these instead of having to go into network and typing out a new one by hand each time?

Thank you all,


Zaxil

Have a look at Opie 1.1.1. Networksettings can do that.

Hi,
 Acutally, Im also confused about this. I configured wlan0 for my wireless (no dhcp ) and I was up and running. However I don\'t see a place to add a second wireless connection like I had in the sharp zaurus rom. If I go add I get ppp (for modem) --] generic ppp device but nothing for wireless. The \"profile\" setting for 802.11b is greyed out. So, I dont see a way to go between 2 or more different wireless aps.

Also, in oz 3.3.6  i was unable to get dhcp working. I reviewed the threads and tried modifying /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script to get the default router going. (I had host not found when pinging outside my network).
 I tried /sbin/route add default gw $i and also hard coded the default gateway. If I key in route add default gw 192.168.0.1 on a console, it works its just this script isnt taking it.

Thank you.
