Wellenreiter for qtopia again

[albertr]

I\'m sorry to beat a dead horse, since I\'m sure it was discussed already before... Nevertheless, I still can\'t find a definite answer. Which recent version of Wellenreiter II (and opie libs) works on Sharp\'s Qtopia?

I\'ve tried ver.1.0.2 (from 2003-12-18 ) from http://opie.net.wox.org/wellenreiter/feed/...0031218_arm.ipk. Change log (http://opie.net.wox.org/projects/wellenreiter.html) specifically mentioned: \"The monitor mode now tries to use the standard IW_MODE_MONITOR first. If that doesn\'t work, it falls back to using the proprietary iwpriv commands.\" That sounds perfectly fine, since IW_MODE_MONITOR first appeared in WE15, and I have a kernel with WE16. Also HostAP and recent snapshots of orinoco (patched by Pavel Roskin) both support IW_MODE_MONITOR mode. One would think that everything\'s on the same track and should play nice with each other, right? Well, I thought so too... but Wellenreiter errors out with: \"Can\'t set interface \'wlan0\' into monitor mode: No such file or directory\". So the question remains - which version of Wellenreiter *DO* actually work on Sharp\'s builds of Qtopia? Maybe I just need to upgrade opie compatibility libs for qtopia? Frankly, the ones I have are pretty old (dated July 2003 or so).
I really like Wellenreiter II and I think that it\'s a great peace of software. Was using the old version (from summer of 2003) on my Z with old HostAP and old orinoco/spectrum_cs drivers. But just recently upgraded kernel from WE14 to WE16 and decided to upgrade HostAP and orinoco drivers as well. Hope there\'s something I still missing to get Wellenreiter work again? Anyone?
Thanks,

Need more info. Post the whole command line output until it tells you the error message.

Wellenreiter 0.99 for the Sharp ROM works for me on both 5500 (Sharp based ROM) with default WE12 + orinoco and hostap drivers as well as on C750 with kernel patched to WE15 (same drivers).

The only problem with it is that on Sharp ROM wellenreiter cannot deal with a susended card (cardctl scheme showing \"CardSuspend\"). You have to start wellenreiter with an active connection or change a scheme manualy.

Mickeyl, thanks for looking into it...
Here\'s a snipset of the relevant error messages:

opie libs problem?
Thanks again,

Anton,

Wellenreiter 0.9x worked for me too, the only problem is it doesn\'t use IW_MODE_MONITOR mode.
While hostap driver provides backward compatibility, the new orinoco doesn\'t. So I\'m looking for a new version of Wellenreiter that can do IW_MODE_MONITOR mode.

albertr,

Try the ones from the TKC feed that I built.  Those work fine with the Sharp ROM (I built them myself).  I am sure mickeyl\'s work great too, but feel free to give the TKC ones a try.  I have tested them against a similar kernel as yours, so I would suspect you will have success.

javab0y,

There I can find it? Sorry, I\'m not familiar with TKC...

You guys got mail.

While hostap driver provides backward compatibility, the new orinoco doesn\'t. So I\'m looking for a new version of Wellenreiter that can do IW_MODE_MONITOR mode.

What\'s wrong with using hostap  drivers then?

Also Mike told me that he was going to release a 1.3 version of wellenreiter this weekend, including a build for Sharp ROM. I hope he does  I\'ll heck tomorrow - today is  holiday here in Russia. March 8, you know

I use your compiled version too, any objection to posting them to the ZUG download section so those who want can get them more easily?

Jeff, thanks! My Z is back to business. Your build, indeed, works on Qtopia and Wellenreiter uses IW_MODE_MONITOR mode now. Very nice.

Anton, there\'s nothing wrong with hostap driver. But it doesn\'t support every wireless card on earth, i.e. ones which require uploading firmware on reset, such as Symbol Spectrum24.

Mickeyl, thanks for your great work on Wellenreiter, looking forward to your new releases...

thnx javaboy, BUT, my wellenretier loads upsde down and looks like its for the sl5500.  I think i remeber a post for some newer library to fix the upside down problem, but i thought that was in the 5500 forums.  I dont remeber :/  

BTW Im using a c860
