You haven't provided much detail here - so it's unclear what the problem is.

Are you saying that your wifi chipset works with Haiku unless you go near an ADSL box? Or are you saying that wifi doesn't work at all with Haiku on your machine?

Please post a syslog and listdev output if possible.

Summary: WIFIWifi not working on alpha3 with iprowifi4965

I'm closing this ticket as invalid since wifi support has been updated and improved greatly since Alpha3.

I don't know what you mean by "screening problem" - if you're looking for multiple-monitor support, I'm not sure that's a feature that Haiku really supports yet. Some drivers might support it, some might not.

If you're looking for Webpositive (Netpositive was a BeOS app, not Haiku), you can install it on a gcc2hybrid nightly, or gcc4 nightly by running the terminal command:

installoptionalpackage Webpositive

Which will download the packages and install them. The nightly images are intentionally smaller with fewer applications as they are not meant for general usage.

Please open new tickets for additional issues.
