maemo.org - Talk - [on popular demand] recover key/passphrase of WLAN

Q: <user___> hey, how do I lookup the wep key I stored on this thing?
<user___> instead of having it show up as stars in the internet connections prefs

A: in xterm, do:

Code:

gconftool-2 -R /|grep -C15 <name/SSID_of_your_AP>

(this is actually the name as it would show up in your "select connection" dialog, so if you renamed the connection to something different than the SSID, use this 'nickname' instead)

This will give you a list of all configured wlan connections:

Code:

gconftool-2 -R /|grep -A3 wlan_ssid

The full load comes like that:

Code:

gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP
