Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers

Uploaded new version to auto builder.

Meanwhile here is a .deb.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers

IMHO, is better use always bleeding edge drivers. I have installed in /lib/modules so I load always these modules. The quality of wifi is improved with bleeding edge drivers. The bleeding edge drivers is NOT only for injection.

Maemo.org's builder doesn't seem to build my package like my scratchbox. I hope the fifth build will work correctly.

EDIT: Seems to work :)

If you are using bleeding edge drivers this shouldn't output anything:

Code:

cat /proc/modules | grep wl12xx

It just loads the modules. It doesn't make any permanent changes. Maybe in later versions :rolleyes:

Yes, the wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/ folder.

I managed to successfully install it with FAM, HAM and APT :/ You could try to kill the hildon-status-menu and see, if it starts:

Code:

killall hildon-status-menu

i've tried to remove one of my status-applet and reinstall the wlan-driver-selector but i can't see them. what can i do? thank you

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers

sorry to ask this here, but how to permenantly install the bleeding edge drivers?

The first time i tried this code it works. but after a phone restart and loading the drivers the code output something even tho the app says bleeding edge is loaded so i am not sure if the drivers are really loaded. so is there another way to check if it is loaded.
