I agree the wifi setup in the piCore OS is terribly convoluted. The voodoo seems to happen in ./usr/local/bin/wifi.sh, a shell script written some years ago by the TinyCore folks. wifi.sh reads the /home/tc/wifi.db file, which in turn gets configured by the piCorePlayer web UI script /home/tc/www/cgi-bin/writetowifi.cgi. When changes are saved in the UI, the writetowifi.cgi script invokes wifi.sh with the -a (for automatic) option to bring up the wifi connection with the new parameters (fingers crossed). The wifi.sh script looks as if it can enumerate multiple entries in wifi.db, so it would be an interesting experiment to manually add entries to wifi.db and invoke wifi.sh to see if it can find other wifi networks. If that proves out, perhaps the pCP team could consider adding a section in the wifi config screen for a second wifi network. Just a thought..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wtnh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107901 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
