Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers and shut down WLAN complitely [0.2.2]

Just to clarify things, he had plans to sell N8 and buy next N900 - but, lately, he received N950. This is only for clarification - I really, *really* don't attack laasonen.

Ps.

It's probably mainly our fault than none of us have skill (or those having it, are over-projected ATM) that we can't continue this great project. Complaining now is like complaining if laasonen was ever hit by a bus or whatever. Time to move a.s.s and try to learn some python, I guess.

Just wanted to say this finally let me use the power kernel while connecting to DD-WRT APs at the same time! :D

sorry, but could you elaborate more on this? I don't get how applet to switch between stock/bleeding-edge drivers may fix any problem with connecting to dd-wrt AP. Seems quite unrelated.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers and shut down WLAN complitely [0.2.2 in extras]

There's a bug with kernel-power that prevents the N900 from seeing DD-WRT APs, but with the bleeding-edge drivers the APs show up again:

https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...1528&atid=5521

Your switching applet gave me a quick, convenient and failsafe way to switch between drivers.

I haven't touched the code for half of an year, but I remember that it checks the folder for the drivers when you select it. And if you remove the drivers from the folder afterwards, it asks for the new location automatically next time.

What works and what doesn't?

Loading stock-drivers
Loading bleedingedge-drivers

This applet is no longer developed. Use Advanced Interface Switcher instead (and Cleven or fAircrack for hassle-free injection enabling + aircrack frontend).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers and shut down WLAN complitely [0.2.2 in extras]

@laasonen,
is there any possibility that the state of the wlan (disabled or enabled) remains the same even after reboot?
At the moment, after every reboot it goes to enabled state.

It would be great if it stays at the last state it was before rebooted/ shutdown? if it can be done using a simple mod, please post it, if u dont want the applet to be updated.

Thanks for the wonderful applet. significant difference matey!

It's pretty easy task, if anyone is interested on implementing it, but I can't do it myself, because I don't have Maemo SDK or a device to test it on anymore.

Quickest way would probably be to add something like this:

Code:

start on started hildon-desktop



respawn



script

  exec /sbin/unload-drivers.sh

end script

to:

Code:

/etc/event.d/disable-wlan

Hmm, the applet probably starts up before wlan gets disabled, so it shows wrong status :/

To fix it, you could add this line:

Code:

commands.getoutput('sudo /sbin/unload-drivers.sh')

after this line:

Code:

StatusMenuItem.__init__(self)

on this file:

Code:

/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/status-area-wlan-driver-selector-applet.py

and remove this file:

Code:

/etc/event.d/disable-wlan

Dunno which version you have installed, but on mine, if i click any of the plugins buttons, i can select preferences (to the right of the screen which pops up). On the same screen where you f.e. select the mode for GSM.

I'm using power49 kernel. Thanks for helping mate. ;)

Edit: Nevermind, found the error.
In xterm

Code:

Accidentily omap instead of power49 was loaded ;) *stupid me* :D

Looks like ifconfig in the load / unload script for the injection drivers throws up that error message looking for the hardware address of wlan0. With injection drivers loaded it doesn't seem to find the wlan0 device anymore. I am getting a "Unknown symbol in module" error when trying to load wl1251_spi.ko, which might explain why ifconfig doesn't see the hardware (ie. the drivers are not loaded).

Edit: Rebooted a few times and re-downloaded the KP50 version drivers again fixed the problem for a bit, but I have a feeling that they are not really stable; ie. after awhile, the loading / unloading runs into problems again. Might be a solution to just load them and run with them, ie. avoid repeated loading / unloading cycles.

I updated the new drivers to my server, so it should download the new ones, if you delete the old ones with file manager :)

I've Searched the thread and carn't find the instructions to edit with gconf..
By first post, you mean original poster ?.
I'l look through thread again.
Really want this working again KP50 also.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers and shut down WLAN complitely [0.2.2 in extras]

Not sure if this is a bug or it is ok ;)
today i noticed that if the drivers directory name contains a "space" like this ( injection drivers ),
the applet wont be able to load'em and it will give this error :

Code:

sh: cd: line 1: can't cd to /home/user/MyDocs/injection

Error while loading kernel moduls

ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

Error while starting wlan0 interface

Drivers were not loaded

And of course that could be solved by renaming the folder : )

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers and shut down WLAN complitely [0.2.2 in extras]

Or just correct the script and wrap the path in quotes (double quotes, if it is given by env var).

Or use this, modules are included in kernel-power package from v50 (or v51) I believe.
Modified the script to work with all kernels ;) Atleast the newer ones

Hello mr_pingu

I have kernel-power52 and have the same Problem:

Error while loading kernel moduls
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
Error while starting wlan0 interface
Drivers were not loaded

What should i do with Your updated script?
How i must name it and in which folder i must copy it to get the WLAN-Driver-Selector applet running ?

Thank You very much.

Considering that author of this application betrayed us with N950, and then, probably, some android device, + taking into account date of last update, I would strongly suggest switching to Advanced Interface Switcher.

Thanks for reminding me about unsubscribe here, anyway.

Sorry for reviving this thread (but the applet is useful and deserves not to be abandonned), but I just did it with KP52 and can confirm it worked properly! Thanks a lot.
