Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle

I would like to load these drivers automatically on bootup. I created the following script in /etc/event.d . The wifi driver loads up fine, however the device looses the ability to enumerate the APs in the wifi applet.
Seems there is something going wrong. I couldnt find any rc.local on N900 where i could use this script rather than /etc/event.d.

Code:

start on started hildon-desktop

stop on ACT_DEAD

stop on starting shutdown



console none



script

    cd /home/user/lxp

    sh load.sh

end script

Why isn't WifiEye app compatible with the b-e driver?

I haven't been able to track down the problem nor any workaround. I presume that there's something SEGFAULTing, but I'm not sure how to track it down. Thanks for confirming that it's not just a problem with me though. I'll be sure to post back if I make any progress on this. If anyone knows where I can get more info to debug this (logs, stacktraces, etc.)... now is the time to speak up.

so am i really connected to the internet or is this a bug with kernel that jus says they are open but really they are not ??? postin in this thread cus it started when i installed 10power46wl1 kernel.thnx

It's checking your e-mail and probably has nothing to do with this kernel. If you have MfE or email account set to auto-check every X minutes, it checks immediately every time you connect regardless of the schedule. It's annoying and causes initial lag every time when connecting...

The only "solution" I've found is to disable all automatic email updates and only sync manually.

This is kind of a duplicate post, but may be more appropriate under this thread:

why can i only see channel 6?

I believe i'm using the correct driver which came from here.

And the instructions i followed were from here.

You didn't say you rebooted after installing the debs. The drivers require you to be running a modified version of the power kernel, which is what is included in the debs, and you need to reboot so you are running the kernel you just installed.
