Warren,

Thanks for the advice. I'm a big time user of scripts and I hate GUI's. 
However, the use of Mokonnect is a last gasp effort to get the Neo to connect 
to my AP (Access Point). I would prefer to use the normal linux init scripts 
but I've been finding some bizarre behaviour with them.

Cheers!!

I must admit that even though I generally prefer gui tools for this kind of
thing - life got a lot easier once I bit the bullet and just created a
wpa_supplicant config file with all the networks I usually connect to in it.

I created a 'connect_wifi' script that basically does fsoraw -r WiFi --
wpa_supplicant - etho0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

when I want to use wifi I just start terminal - do "connect_wifi &", and
then once it connects I do a udhcpc, and I'm done.

After suspending I wait for wpa_supplicant to reconnect, and then have to
manually do a udhcpc again.

It's far from ideal - but it's given me much more reliable wifi connectivity
than when I was trying to mofi or mokonnect.

Good luck.

Warren

Yeah, I found it and blew it away and now the installation does look like a 
new one. The big problem now is that the scan function of Mokonnect no longer 
works. Bummer.

Cheers!!

Yeah, I found it and blew it away and now the installation does look like a

I think The file you are looking for is:

/usr/share/mokonnect/mkconfig.py

SHR-U: Mokonnect...

2009-09-16 Thread John Dowd
I've run into a problem using Mokonnect. I configured it once and now I can't 
delete that configuration. I scanned for an AP, selected the one I wanted, 
entered in the connection information for it. I inadvertently did not add a 
password and now it will not let me change that setting. the password field is 
unselectable and I can never connect to that AP.

Also, the scan goes on forever now.

the easiest way to fix the AP information stuff would be to blow away the file 
that has the information in it so that the next time I run the app it looks 
like the first time but I can't find the file. Anyone know where it is? I 
already tried to remove Mokonnect and then re-installing it but the 
information persisted.

Cheers!!
