Just flash shr testing of april 22., and the accompagnying kernel. WIFI 
will be totally broken. Reflash a 2.6.28 kernel, and WIFI will work 
normally again - at least WEP connections will be fine.

In my tests WIFI didn't fail. It did fail when I was far from the AP.

 Try rmmod a6000 (I think thats the correct module) them modprobing it again

I might try. But if it helps, then it is still a kernel bug that needs 
fixing.
Messing around with modprobe commands is too cumbersome on such a device,
slightly more tolerable on PCs that have real keyboards.

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.

The network nightmare :)

The low-level tools even fail on open and Mac filtered networks, I'm not
finding any bug reports on SHR's bug tracking system but I may upgrade my
phone today and test with the latest kernel and everything, if no one has
already tried that.

Currently, I playing around with Android beta 6 (from Koolu). Wireless
does not work there either.
Sometimes I can the FreeRunner is able to scan for networks, sometimes
not.
I was never able to get a connection with an access point.

set up the /etc/network/interfaces so that eth0 uses wpa_supplicant,

I just re-flashed and it works fine for me so far. Here's what I did:
1) Flash testing image and kernel
2) opkg update/upgrade
3) installed the mofi beta release [1] 
4) depmod -a and reboot
5) load mofi, it scanned all the networks in the area, I chose mine (open, no 
encryption)
6) tested connection with TwitterMoko (because it crashes if there is no web 
access)

I have had problems with it not working after a resume, but I haven't tried it

The older kernel works for me as well - on latest shr-testing. 

What I did find is that the busybox tar and gzip seem broken - the
extracted modules seem corrupt.  I ended up extracting on the local

  It is a kernel problem, because going back to the older kernel
  uImage-2.6.28-oe1+gitr34240a1c06ae36180dee695aa25bbae869b2aa26-r3-om-gta02.bin
  fixes the WIFI problem.
 
  Unfortunately, using this older kernel with SHR testing of april 22.
  means no usb networking instead. And no sound, so no phone either.
 
 Did you installed modules too? it works for me, I do not know if there
 are some changes that breaks frameworkd, but audio and usb works fine.

2009/4/27 Adam Jimerson vend...@gmail.com:
 I am still trying to get my wireless to work on the 4/16 release of
 SHR-Testing, I can get a scan to work on eth0 every now and then and the
 rest of the time I get a device does not support scanning error.  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.

2009-04-27 Thread matthias
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!

Well it is nice to see that I am not the only person with this problem, for
me Mofi doesn't even load, I am installing the one from opkg.org to see if I
have any better luck with it.

i'd recommend knjmokowifi also for managing connections, it works very nicely
