Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Hi all,
I got placed Haiku on my old notebook, for a second life. Brillant.
Problem is my wifi is regonised as network-device but not as wifi (I think) and my networkcard for cabel isn't regonised at all.
I have run system info for this and the outcome published: http://www.tuinstraat29.nl/systeminfo.html
I use a Fritsbox modem FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340 with FRITZ!OS 05.51. Maybe I can do something here, accept making my systems less secure.
Can I get internet, for the time being just with the cabel, and the best is if I can get wifi working.
Is there someone that can help, thank's in advance,
Pit

Working on it, a problem to do someting with the wireless card is that if I do ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 list that it give back "is not a WLAN device!" wich is a big mistake.

Does
help?
Also try a nightly image http://www.haiku-files.org/haiku/development/
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Thx Diver, I have downloaded the nightly build, will try it and let you know.
ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 up worked, but didn't change anything because the problem is not getting the wireless card up, this card is regonised but I can't get it to pass my modem's security.
It is my sys900 that isn't regonised. So I tried ifconfig /dev/net/sis900/0 auto-config up and it worked!!
The machine does see my sis900 card now.
Connecting through wpa/wpa2 still is a problem. Using the network tool from the menu let me fill in the code that comes with my modem, after 5 seconds the kernel panics and kdebug comes up.

Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Somehow, the atheroswifi driver on your system is either younger or older than the kernel code.

I have tried to install a driver for my wifi card, that is than a mistake?
I will try to install a new copie of Haiku.
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
If you've installed this driver from here http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/haiku-wifi/ it was a mistake. It is largely outdated. An up to date version is already included in Haiku.
Bringing an interface up helps with "is not a WLAN device!" error. Try to do that and then ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 list.
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
New install gives a list of networks that can be used. Great, looks a lot better.
But ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 join MyNetwerk 23456234567887 gives an usual kernel panic. Better than last time, I can type some commands in the kdebug screen. Doesn't help but the machine doesn't hang anymore.

All of FreeBSD 9.2 WLAN drivers except aironetwifi should be working.
Atheroswifi supporting almost every Atheros chipset out there.
Currently only PCI, PCI-X, PCI-Express, Mini PCI, and Mini PCI-Express devices are expected to work.
PCMCIA, CardBus, ExpressCard, USB and ISA devices still need more work to become functional.
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Can you exit from KDL afterwards using "es" command? If so, you can grab a copy of KDL output from /var/log/syslog and file a ticket at http://dev.haiku-os.org
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Yes, this message is coming from Webpositive!!!
I installed the nightly build HREV46302 and all installed like a smooth proffesional OS. Nothing the matter.
Great.
People with problems getting something to work, try the nightly builds, the effort is only 5 minutes and you istalled a hole new OS.
Haha.

Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Never call it Paradise, just ask Don Henly about that.
Really, I seriously need to upgrade my NIC to a WIFI card that Haiku will accept. I see you people having way too much fun with your Haiku WiFi, while here I am, still tethered to a cable - since my Realtek-8187Se isn't supported (on Haiku or FreeBSD) I CAN do WiFi on FreeBSD with NDISwrapper. But Haiku would be nice!
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Sorry, I am just lucky I guess.
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
But there is still trouble in paradise. Now I used that nightly build but that is very small, a lot of software is missing.
The homepage off Webpositive writes I have to use installoptionalpackage in a terminal. It leads to a command not found.
It also write if I want to add software just place it in /boot/apps wich doesn't exists.
My goal is to install Lazarus but the .zip.xz file that comes with it isn't something expander can handle.
How to go on?
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
installoptionalpackage has been removed (i guess) in favour of the package manager called HaikuDepot. It should be in your nightly image
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Indeed, installoptionalpackage doesn't exist anymore. You can use pkgman if you prefer cli. You need to install xz_utils to unpack Lazarus archive. Take a look at this article https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/install-applications and https://www.haiku-os.org/tags/package_management to learn more about package management. HTH.
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Indeed, installing xz-utils worked.
We go on
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
I try to install software, reading that I have to unpack them in /boot/common/apps/ but this directory doesn't exist.
I want to autostart my wifi, because it work great but not automatic at start. So I have to edit a file in /boot/common/settings/ but that doesn't exist.
Is this the problem of using a nightly build or is it because this nightly build is newer and therefor changed? Not using the old filestructure anymore?
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
For my wifi I found a file called wireless_network in /boot/system/settings/network/ but editting it like https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/wireless explained doesn't work.
Help (again)...........
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
I had the same issue. To have auto connect to wifi at startup, for now, you have to make a shell script like this:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig /dev/net/atheros/0 join MYSSID
You have to replace /dev/net/atheros/0 with your WLAN interface and MYSSID with the name of your SSID.
Then put this script in /boot/home/config/settings/boot/launch
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working

With latest nightlies (with PM) you can:
extract regular apps (eg zip files) to /boot/home/config/non-packaged/apps / (create the "apps" folder if doesnt exist)
Or install hpkg files, moving them to /boot/home/config/packages. You can find packages using HaikuDepot or go on Haikuware.com (personally, i'm updating apps as hpkg), but most of them aren't still available as hpkg.
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Recently file system structure has changed quite a bit. See https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/PackageManagement/Migration and http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/install-applications

Doesn't work. Made a textfile on the desktop, called it startwifi and edit it with PE.
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 join Mijnnetwerk 102342348765
cd Desktop
cp startwifi /boot/home/config/settings/boot/launch
made it starteble for everyone.
No succes, what's wrong?
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
If you have saved the password for your wifi at the first connection, you doesn't need to insert password again using ifconfig.
Stupid question: did you set the script as executable? (Maybe you mean startable=executable? :-)

Yes. Sorry, wrong word "starteble"....
Havend used English for a longer period.
I removed the key and saved it. Now it opens the script with StyleEdit
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
It is indeed executable. When I start it from a terminal I get "Device/File/Resource busy" message.
The device is already up. ifconfig Device down doesn't work.
Pit
Re: Trouble in paradise, wpa+wpa2 not working
Perhaps you need to
ifconfig /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 upbefore?
