My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

I cant get my n900 to show and connect to any wifi even though i have some around me so i wrote it here and someone told me he had the same problem but after flashing in roots it worked, so tried flashing but still cant get it to find any available wifi when i search even though i have some around me, someone plz help me:(

There seems to be a bug in the wireless driver on the N900. I later installed Wifi-switcher but when i turn it on it says: CANNOT ENABLE WLAN: IFCONFIG WLANO UP FAILED. Plz can someone help me solve this, plzzzzzzzzz

someone please help i have the same issue :(

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

There seems to be a bug in the wireless driver on the N900. My workaround although a little irritating is to install Wifi-Switcher to enable/disable the wireless card on the N900. After disabling it, reenable it again using Wifi-Switcher and you will see that you will have wireless working again! :-)

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

I did that but when i try re-enabling it then it says. CANNOT ENABLE WLAN: IFCONFIG WLANO UP FAILED. Plz can someone help me solve, plzzzzzzzzz

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

Can someone plz help me out?

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

Try

Code:

apt-get install wireless-tools

as root, (you may need to install the root.sh package if you haven't already) and see if the problem can be solved via the command line.

iwconfig should show if you are connected and
iwlist wlan0 scan should show any AP's in your area

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

Also, did you flash the emmc?

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

I don't think iwconfig will work as the interface seems unable to come up.
At CLI type

Code:

lsmod | grep wl12xx

and view output. It should be as follows:

Code:

wl12xx                 77696  0 

mac80211              153180  1 wl12xx

crc7                    1216  1 wl12xx

This is the first step to troubleshoot, viz are the drivers loaded and is the wireless card active.

If you don't see this, try as root, via

Code:

sudo gainroot

Code:

modprobe wl12xx

I don't think this will be what's the problem but let's see wots wot.

HA

PS: Also try asroot

Code:

modprobe -r wl12xx

Code:

modprobe wl12xx

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 up

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

flash to stock 1.2 including the emmc

test. Note how it works.

Thanks.

Newish to Maemo/n900 but not Gnu/Linux. If you will, help me understand the rationale here - is incl. the emmc simply the quickest way or is there something inextricably borked in the conf?

tnx HA

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

Guys i am very new about maemo and i am facing same problem with my N900. Please help.

Think that i dont know anything about programing....

Please...

Re: My n900 dont display any available WLAN even though i have them around me

The best advice appears tobe a reflash of the device - firmware & emmc.

Prerequisites: installed the following packages
rootsh
wireless-tools

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Description: Turn WiFi on/off

# Original script from http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_Command_Execution_Widget_scripts

#

out=`ifconfig wlan0`

if [ $? -eq "0" ] ; then

if [ `echo "$out" | grep -c RUNNING` -gt "0" ] ; then

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.disconnect boolean:true

fi

ifconfig wlan0 down

rmmod wl12xx

rmmod mac80211

rmmod crc7

stop wlancond

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:'Wi-Fi Disabled'

exit 2

else

modprobe crc7

modprobe mac80211

modprobe wl12xx

wl1251-cal

stop wlancond

start wlancond

iwconfig wlan0 mode managed

ifconfig wlan0 up

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd_ui /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.show_conn_dlg boolean:false

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:'Wi-Fi Enabled'

exit 0

fi

Save it as wifi.sh

Running method:

Code:

echo /PATH_TO_SCRIPT/wifi.sh | sudo gainroot

It'll enable or disable the wifi depends on the present state.

Hope this help.
