Not sure if I can use this in LightHouse 502G (slaxer based)
I tried the 5.2 based wpa_supplicant, not knowing which other one I have to choose.

I get this message:
Code:
Wpa_supplicant Status:
-------------------------------------------------
sh: regel 2: /usr/local/sbin/wpa_cli: No such file or directory
-------------------------------------------------
As I did the network setup with the regular wizard, I have a working connection.
I include the diagnostic file generated by frisbee, but probably some info in there is from this setup.

Maybe it's not possible to use this frisbee in LightHouse.

I believe Tazoc was going to take a look at integrating Frisbee into LighthousePup.

Hi jemimah,

I got this working in Fatdog, yes recompiled everything including wpa_supplicant-0.7.3 with your .config. Works well too. Smile

Only issue is that the tray icon did not update after a reboot, it was connected fine though. I had to right click the icon and open the frisbee gui then the tray icon updated. I just closed the gui at that point, works after that.

Thanks

edit: same after x restart, icon shows disabled state, tarball attached

edit 2: I recompiled wpa_supplicant in spup and Frisbee works perfectly with spup ( Smile ), so it is a Fatdog issue, don't worry about it, I'm sure between jamesbond, kirk and myself we will figure it out

Confused There is no option to disconnect from a particular network and connect to another

Can you add it?

I tested wpa_supplicant .7.3 and with some netbook hardware it was really really slow to return scan results - so I stuck with .6.9 on purpose. So, if people complain of no scan results, you may want to downgrade and see if that helps.


Frisbee_tray is passive and only changes state if you send it a signal to do so. The script in /root/Startup and the scripts in /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks are responsible for sending messages to the tray applet. Note that there is a bug in beta 1 that doesn't change the tray state for a static IP. I hope to relase beta 2 later today or tomorrow.

What you're supposed to do is set priorities for each network, so if one goes down you automatically get the next one on the list. However, it seems that no matter what, wpa_supplicant prioritizes secure networks higher than insecure ones. I may check how difficult it would be to patch it to not do that.

The quick fix is to just disable the networks you don't want and re-enable them when you do want them.

Thanks jemimah.


Yes. It is just that simple. Nice work guys. Laughing
The auto-detect and connect feature works real good, and the way the
settings are arranged is a real plus.

I move my USB flash (puppy 520) between a Dell desktop, netbook, and laptop constantly (each has a different set of wireless H/W components). Frisbee will now save me the time of having to select the wireless router, and enter the password, each time that I move this USB flash drive from one computer to the others (and reboot, of course).

Thank you,
ir

Updated to Beta 2.

Edit: I messed up a file in the Frisbee-beta2 pet so if you grabbed in in the past hour, you'll want to get it again.

Connect and Disconnect buttons like in Pwireless would be great.

Connect/Disconnect is still there, it's just a checkbox now that says "Enable Wireless Networking". The applet also allows you to connect and disconnect wireless.

Ah, I'm a bit late to the game. I'm using beta-1 on Fatdog too ... it works fine on my laptop with intel wireless, but I have a little problem with another one that runs wl (doesn't it sound familiar sigh closed-source drivers Confused )
Connection everything works fine, it persists across reboots, but dhcp doesn't start automatically (ie I've got no IP).. If I run dhcpcd manually then everything seems to work. Let me know if want to pursue this. Since Frisbee is started at reboot time, how do I debug? Any log file of some sort?

Yes there's a rather large "View DHCP Log" button on the Configure Network Interfaces tab. Wink

The question is whether the Frisbee startup script in /etc/init.d is not starting it or whether dhcpcd is not properly detecting when the interface comes up.

Here is Frisbee-beta-2-lucid52 for Lucid 5.2. It is one package--everything included. I uninstalled beta 1 then installed beta 2. I had to redo the profile for my wireless.

I made a pet package for Fatdog64, it contains:

Frisbee beta2
dhcpcd-5.2.9-jemimah-patched.tar.gz (new)
xpupsay-1.2.1.tar.gz
frisbee_tray.tar.gz
wpa_supplicant-0.6.10

I haven't tested this much, good luck!


This is a note mainly for me, I configured dhcpcd like this:
./configure --libexecdir=/lib/dhcpcd --dbdir=/var/lib/dhcpcd --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/usr/lib64

Works good for me here, thanks kirk, jemimah. Posting this from my (usually troublesome) netbook with the wl driver. This is testing wireless with WPA connection. Haven't tested the wired connection yet.

kirk - I noticed you put the dhcpcd 5.2.9 back in?

Jemimah, is that a dependency for Frisbee? We used to have issues with dhcpcd 5.2.9 on Fatdog, kirk was forced to roll-back to version 3.2.3.

cheers!
