Wireless not working with hrev46632 on Asus Eee PC 701

[Cypress]

Just installed hrev46632 GCC2 hybrid on my Asus Eee PC 701 ad the Wireless is not working. I'd be happy to provide more info (debug oututs and whatnot) if I knew how.

The output of the listdev Terminal command, as well as a copy of syslog would be interesting for a start.

syslog attached

[umccullough]

Ugh... probably should have uploaded that as a file attachment.

It definitely seems to be detected - do you see it in /dev/net?

How about ifconfig?

I assume you also tried clicking the little network icon on the deskbar to choose an SSID...

[Cypress]

Couldn't figure out how to attach a file. Anyways, here's the ifconfig output, the contents of /dev/net and the options the networking icon gives me:

[umccullough]

There should be an attach file button under the ticket description section, but anyhow.

Did you run the install-wifi-firmwares.sh script? You won't need to, but I thought I'd ask in case that has caused some issue.

Anyhow, I had something similar happen to be the other day - while I was getting constant wpa_supplicant crashes and then messing around with the keystore database and the firmwares script. I forget what I ended up doing to fix the problem, I'm pretty sure I removed the firmware package and reinstalled it, then deleted the keystore database and recreated it, and perhaps I also deleted the network config.

network problem

[Cypress]

I installed the latest nightly build on top of alpha4. I ran the wifi firmware script when i installed alpha 4 (I think, as of what I remember). I'll try running it again and if it doesn't do anything I'l try to reproduce your steps.

[umccullough]

I definitely wouldn't try installing any nightly on top of previous alphas at this point... there have been MAJOR changes to the directory structures and internal design with package management and I would guess the behavior would be very unpredictable.

Also, atheros doesn't require the firmware script.

I recommend a fresh install, or at least booting from something like USB stick or CD to see if it works that way in a clean environment.

[Cypress]

I'll try booting form USB Stick again, see if it works that way. Thanks for the tip - didn't think of that before.

[Cypress]

You were right. I wiped the partition and reinstaled a fresh copy of Haiku. WiFi is now working so this bug report can now be closed.

Thanks for the note!
