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

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! :-)

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

Also, did you flash the emmc?

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

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
