WiFi scan

[BaDToaD]

Forgive my noobishness but this should just be a quickie hopefully.


My WiFi started giving me hassle so I deleted the connection to my router so I could set it up from scratch.


So my question is, how do I get the WiFi to scan for access points?

 

[WizardStan]

It should be doing that automatically. When I tap the wifi icon on the right it brings up a list of available networks entirely automatically. It takes a minute or two after toggling the wifi on, but eventually they show up.

 

[BaDToaD]

Mmmm that's what I though it should do. I've probably broken something. I'll have a proper look at it later. I've been looking for a reason to learn linux command line stuff anyway LOL.

 

[mindlord]

This command forces a scan to occur immediately, and as a bonus tells you all the nitty-gritty details about each access point it finds.

iwlist wlan0 scanning

 

[BaDToaD]

A quick update. I tried the iwlist wlan0 scanning command yesterday evening and it came back with "Wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning"


I assumed I'd borked things in a major manner so I reflashed the firmware at lunchtime. I toggled the WiFi on but still nothing. The Pandora doesn't seem to attempt to scan for networks.


The iwlist wlan0 scanning command still comes back with "Wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning"


Anyone got any ideas?

 

[BaDToaD]

Hi Alerino, I'm a linux noob I'm afraid so can you tell me how to use dmesg.


I assumed the latest firmware included the latest hot fix but I still ran the pnd version when I discovered the WiFi was still borked. It made no difference

 

[WizardStan]

Ok, a stupid question but we need to cover all the bases:


Are you absolutely 100% positive you are toggling the wifi on? When toggled off, I get the "interface doesn't support scanning" as well. When toggled on, what does "iwconfig wlan0" return?

 

[BaDToaD]

@ Wizardstan. Yes I made sure I was toggling the wifi on. iwconfig wlan0 returns "no such device" A tad concerning maybe? and yes I typed a Zero not an Oh

@ Wizardstan. Yes I made sure I was toggling the wifi on. iwconfig wlan0 returns "no such device" A tad concerning maybe? and yes I typed a Zero not an Oh

Instead of toggling WiFi, leave wifi off, go to terminal and type:

sudo /etc/init.d/wl1251-init start

This will start your driver manually and post any messages if something fails.

Hi ED. I'm getting command not found so I've obviously got the syntax wrong somewhere.


I'm typing "sudo /etc/init.d/w11251-init start" minus the quotes.


EDIT: sussed it. It was wl1251 not w11251


It seems to have started the driver in the terminal but iwconfig wlan0 still returns "No such device"

 

[WizardStan]

Alerino's suggestion is needed now. Everything seems to suggest the Pandora is simply not seeing its own wifi device. It's just gone. The results of dmesg should help figure out why. Toggle the wifi off then back on, run "dmesg" in a terminal, and paste the result into a text files for posting here.

dmesg output after a reboot and clean sudo of EDs command.

[BaDToaD]

Will do another dmesg with toggling off and on and post here


EDIT OK here it is. A full one this time :lol:

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System


Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:


#1) Respect the privacy of others.


#2) Think before you type.


#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

There was NO other output from the WLAN driver in dmesg?


It seems it doesn't start...


Which OS version / Hotfix are you on?

That was the whole session ED.


I'm on Hotfix 4 final. I also reflashed with the full firmware image from the hotfix 4 news post and then re applied the hotfix 4 final pnd just to be sure.

 

[EvilDragon]

ED should investigate it a bit. It's the same problem reported at gp32x boards, here


edit: ED, I wonder if a de-compressor is not doing the work right (unzipping, generating md5)

Well... it doesn't make much sense, even notaz doesn't know yet what's wrong here.


Basically, when I start the image creation, it creates the IPK packages as well as a full image ready to be flashed.


The image gets an MD5sum, if it wouldn't be correct, it wouldn't even boot.


And the IPK packages are what we are using with HF4.


OPKG would complain if a package is not installed correctly - and there's a logfile in appdata after image creation.


The IPK has to be correct, as otherwise it would fail on all units or it would always fail and not work after reinstalling HotFix 4.


The only WiFi-related things we've changed are notaz drivers... I'll try to make a mini-update to see if this will help you.

 

[BaDToaD]

I tried re flashing once more and the WiFi resurrected itself for a whole five minutes before it stopped working. I'm beginning to think it may be a hardware issue.

 

[BaDToaD]

if you haven't tried it yet, leave the battery off for 30 minutes, then reflash again

Thanks Alerino, I'll give that a try later today.

 

[BaDToaD]

I took the battery out, waited 40-50 minutes and reflashed. Unfortunately the WiFi still seems dead.


After the long first boot I waited a few minutes, then started a terminal session. iwconfig wlan0 returned no such device. I toggled the WiFi on in the system menu and waited a few minutes and iwconfig wlan0 still returned no such device.
