Having low-level stuff like iwconfig fail is what makes me suspect a kernel problem. I may confirm this, I got unexpected wow events (it was already reported), playing with enabling/disabling wifi in FSO after a bit put the wifi chip in an unusable state with a strange framework log error (similiar to expecting power set to 0 but failed), when this happens the command iwconfig eth0 power off crashes and the kernel oops. Other problems with wpa roaming mode that seems to not work, wpa_action is missing, wpa_cli does not reports all connect/disconnect errors and so on. I ignored all these issues as before I used mainly BT networking and USB, they works well with recent kernels, with olders BT stopped to work after suspend/resume and with USB my laptop was often not able to enumerate.

No matter if I can scan or not eth0 will not connect to any AP. I have set up the /etc/network/interfaces so that eth0 uses wpa_supplicant, which I have the file setup with the APs and everything, and when I try and ifup eth0 it goes though the configurations but stops at a No lease failing error. I have been at this for a while trying to get it to work and all my attempts have failed. If anyone has any kind of suggestion, or if they have had this problem with this version of SHR-Testing please reply, I getting desperate and will try anything to get it to work. I solved at least the no lease problem hacking a bit /etc/udev/scripts/network.sh, basically when eth0 is added it launches wpa_supplicant with -W (wait for wpa_cli) instead of ifup, after launches wpa_cli -a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.sh, the last is a script called when some event happens (CONNECT/DISCONNECT), on CONNECT it launches udhcpc, and as eth0 is already associated and authenticated I finally get a lease. I think this may be obtained using wpa-roam too in a more elegant way, but it failed and I'm a bit lazy to read an incomplete file set. An issue is that power cycling the AP resulted in kernel reporting ar6000 disconnected/connected but wpa_cli was not notified, after that the freerunner continued to stay connected but I do not know if moving to another configured network will notify a new association and a new IP or I have to disable/reenable wifi. This works starting/stopping wifi from shr-settings too without the need of launch mofi. I toggled wifi several times and it worked on a wpa-psk network without problems, so I *suppose* that udhcpc when launched with the eth0 not associated creates problems. Tomorrow I'll try with the wpa2-enterprise network and report. Nicola ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I had the same problems with the same image. But today, when i tried to connect to the network of my university, it surprisingly worked. I did the following: powered up the device with shr-settings and started mofi.py in the terminal. It worked fine until i switched the device off. So, I hope that was no one-night-stand with me and eth0! But your troubles make me worry! Hope anyone can help!
