I tried NWA just now on SHR-U and it looks good but it made a lot of
white noise come out of the speakers when it got an IP address.

I tried it too and it seems really good. You can  turn off the noise in
.nwa.conf

reliable wifi gui for SHR

2009-12-23 Thread Michal Brzozowski
Hi,

What's the most reliable wifi utility nowadays on SHR? I tried mokonnect,
but it can't see any networks, although 'iwlist scan' shows them properly.
Is there any other tool that will let me:
-select a hotspot
-type the password
-connect
-disconnect and turn off wifi (in such a way that the battery isn't
drained).

Thanks!
Michal

Hi,

wpa-gui - http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/

I use wpa_supplicant roaming mode and deactivated eth0 for conman. WiFi config 
is saved in wpa_supplicant.conf and can be edited via wpa-gui from 
wpa_supplicant project. You can find my bitbake recipe for wpa-gui here [1] and 
a package here [2]. There are also my changed files in wpa-roaming.tar and and 
a README in [2]. I have been using this setup for months now with connections 
to WPA(2) PSK, WEP and unencrypted networks with dhcp and static IP.

You then just need to switch WiFi on and off in SHR settings then udev and 
wpa_supplicant will do the rest :)

Cheers,
 Christian

Re: reliable wifi gui for SHR

2009-12-23 Thread Iain B. Findleton
My biggest problem with SHR is the settings dialog appears to be largely
non-functional for most things I try to do. Info on how to control the
state of the WiFi radio without using the settings application would be
a big help to me.

I am not much of a python person, but just being able to find the
scripts for the settings modules would probably help. Any info?

simply use mdbus and dbus calls to set the resource policy for wifi [1] or if 
you want it cleaner, you write an app that requests the resource and releases 
it when no longer needed.

should be something like this:
mdbus -s org.freesmarthone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage 
org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy WiFi enabled

 Christian
