[qtmoko] Wifi different locations
Hi, I'm struggling a bit with qtmoko and Wifi configs, maybe because I'm new to qtmoko and more used to use FreeBSD systems; I'd like to configure a small set of Wifi zones (where I'm normaly in); in FreeBSD I just expand the file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with the required values about WPA-PSK, PSK, etc. and all is fine; my netbook picks up the best of each location when I start Wifi there; and I do not have to enter anything when I go from location A to B; How do I do this in qtmoko? I could finaly manage to configure my own AP at home, say location A; where I could see around 8 other neighbour AP which I'm not interested in to connect; then I moved to location B and the FR offered me the 8 AP of location A (which of course are not visible due to the distance between A and B), and in addition around 8 AP of location B; I could not manage to pick-up the correct AP by its SSID, maybe due to the long list; and had to remove all config Internet and start from scratch for location B; this is soemhow boring. Is there an easy config file to pick-up only the AP's I do know (in the sense of credentials)? Or do I do something stupid wrong? matthias -- Sent from my FreeBSD netbook Matthias Apitz, g...@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ f: +49-170-4527211 UNIX since V7 on PDP-11, UNIX on mainframe since ESER 1055 (IBM /370) UNIX on x86 since SVR4.2 UnixWare 2.1.2, FreeBSD since 2.2.5 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The unfortunate bit was that it continued to do so while the user entered credentials, and then applied the credentials to the then topmost entry, whichever that would be at that moment.

In my case it was that the AP in location B was visible in the list of all APs after scan, but when I tried to configure it (i.e. put its credentials) I could not see it in the list of the APs to configure credentials, maybe due to the length of the list.

[qtmoko-v58] Wifi ssh inbound
Hello, I have Wifi up in my FR and can reach Internet; but I can not SSH into the FR over Wifi; I have checked: - IP addr on eth0 is 192.168.2.100 - LISTEN is there as 'tcp 0.0.0.0:22 ...' (and IPv6 as well) - I restarted sshd, does not change problem - from my WLAN 'telnet 192.168.2.100 22' gives connection refused - even from inside the FR 'ssh 192.168.2.100' gives conn refused What does this mean?

qtmoko wifi wpa problem after upgrade wpasupplicant 1.0-3 to 1.0-3+b1
Hi, I pretty much went one by one through the packages given after a apt-get dist-upgrade (on qtmoko v55). I knew from my other freerunner that the wifi breaks at some point (WPA TKIP). Now I have identified the problem with the upgrade from wpasupplicant Preparing to replace wpasupplicant 1.0-3 (using .../wpasupplicant_1.0-3+b1_armel.deb) I have searched on the debian page but there is only the +b1 package for armel. maybe someone can help me to get hold of a wpasupplicant 1.0-3 deb package so I could downgrade. the old one from squeeze has too many dependency issues. best regards and many thanks robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

possible to use wifi and usb networking at the same time? (qtmoko)
hi I somehow messed up my routing, so I can no longer access the internet/router from my freerunner (ping 192.168.0.200 works 192.168.0.1 (router) doesn't anymore). Now I thought as long as I can log in via ssh from my desktop I could still access the internet from my phone, by powering on wifi. BUT as soon as the wifi connection is up (and actually permits me to access the internet) my usb connection dies... so I was wondering if there is a setup, where you can just ssh into your phone power up wifi (maybe even from command line) and still have fully functional usb access to the phone. best regards and happy new year robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: power drain after wifi connection
I am quite sure they are not called after disconnect. I think that the kernel is responsible to turn wifi off in suspend (unless you want to keep it on during suspend e.g. for wake-on-wlan function). Yes, in suspend the kernel turns off the module completely, it shouldn't drain anything, at least it never used to. ok, after some testing sessions I can confirm a unbind/bind cycle can be used as workaround and the battery is in safe. also empirically, I feel my gta02 gets warm a little when in stdby if I do not unbind, removing the rear cover, in the area between the battery and the smile hole. instead if I never use wifi or unbind/rebind after the use, it keeps the normal (ambient) temperature. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: [SHR-U] Wifi stopped working
to be honest. Mokonnect rarely worked for me. I would also suggest u to use wpa_supplicant or similar wifi tools. Usually I turn on wifi using the shr settings ui and then run wpa_supplicant and udhcpc. That works 99% of the time if the interface is up.

So it may trigger some actions that may reveal hidden kernel bugs not usual on other wifi managers? Anyway the problem should be fixed in kernel space ;) Paul, count me as a patch tester!

ar6000 (FR's wifi) bugs, workarounds and CLI usage tips, read this for stable wifi
Hi,
I've got involved in some wifi configuration recently and so tested FR
with different APs and settings. As a result, several interesting
observations were made, i hope you'll find them useful.
1. Weird SSID bug
Thanks to the hint by Werner i found out that i can never connect to
my WPA+RSN AP when its SSID is Paul-g700ap. wpa_supplicant
associates but 4-way handshake times out after sending 2/4. Every
time. Changing SSID to e.g. Paul-g700af and power-cycling ar6000
reliably makes it work. Changing it back reliably makes it not work.
To sum up: if WPA authentication times out, try changing SSID.
2. Do not hurry to start up wpa_supplicant, add some pause after
powering on the chip:
fsoraw -r WiFi -- bash -c sleep 5; wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -Dwext
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
3. It's recommended to power-cycle the chip after every wpa_supplicant
invocation, the fsoraw method does that automatically, if you're
using any other way, you might need to do that manually.
4. With some APs to get reliable (sometimes any) operation, you need
the maxperf trick:
wmiconfig -ieth0 --power=maxperf
5. Suspend/resume works just fine but you need some additional trick
to get DHCP lease again after resume. For that you can start
wpa_cli -G100 -a /usr/local/bin/wifi-dhcp.sh
with wifi-dhcp.sh:
#!/bin/sh
[ $2 = CONNECTED ] {
dhclient $1
pkill -f wpa_cli -a
wpa_cli -a $0 -B -G100
}
The need for restarting wpa_cli comes from a kernel bug (the driver
fails to notify the userspace about disconnection), the fix is
available on the kernel ML and will be committed soon; after that you
won't need pkill wpa_cli lines any more.
With Debian (no idea if that's applicable to OE, sorry) after applying
the fix you should be able to use standard /etc/network/interfaces
configuration methods, it should invoke wpa_cli, wpa_action and
ifupdown on its own, but i haven't tried to make that work yet, please
try it yourself and report the results.
HTH

OK, I did some tests today, here are the logs: ftp://shulyaka.org.ru/pub/memlog.tar.bz2 I have rebooted the phone to get clear results, started WiFi, Midori and transmission-daemon and run the following script: #!/bin/bash while true; do STAMP=`date +%H:%M:%S` ps axuf ps.$STAMP free free.$STAMP df -h df.$STAMP sleep 300 done It writes output of `ps auxf`, `free` and `df -h` to a corresponding file every 5 minutes.

Re: [SHR-U] Wifi stopped working
An update here. I upgraded my phone the night before last, and my wifi works again. I had just given up and was upgrading nightly. I'm not sure what specific package fixed it, but I noticed that some of the core packages were updated (such as phonefsod, libframeworkd, mdbus2, etc.). I think that I had found that it was that the dbus couldn't control the wifi radio. I'm not sure where the disconnect was, but the apps would call the dbus, and the wifi radio wouldn't respond. No matter which specific package it was, my wifi works now without me doing anything beyond update/upgrade nightly. I didn't add any extra kernel modules or anything. -Laura -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/SHR-U-Wifi-stopped-working-tp4562468p4594298.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[SHR-U] WiFi-related memory leak
Hi! I'm using the latest SHR unstable. I experience some problems with WiFi. When I enable WiFi and connect to an AP, it works well for about half an hour. Then all the applications begin to respond more and more slowly, and then kernel starts killing everything until it kills wpa_supplicant or Xorg. Now I can't use my freerunner for downloading torrents with transmission-daemon over night any more) Is it a known problem, or I have unique combination of AP software and FR settings? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
