OK. That is expected. Now please try the following two commands after a cold boot and post the results...

In your previous posts you showed a successful connection after a 2nd try. Therefore your network specifics should be stored in wifi.db, please verify (cat wifi.db), then issue the following command and post results.

sudo wifi.sh auto

I captured your scan ouput from cold boot and ran it through the awk parser resulting in:

Code: [Select]
2WIRE572                   on    62     
carmfro                    on    22      WPA
MudkipLuvsPatron           on    21      WPA
HP8C3E9E                  off    21     
FastCar                    on    21     
NETGEAR_1955_36            on    20      WPA
2WIRE330                   on    20      WPA
SFHAwifi                  off    19     
Sphere'N                  off    18     
svs                        on    17     
derfla                    off    16     
dean                       on    16     
pappawabbit                on    15      WPA
Sacramento15               on    13      WPA
hpsetup                   off    10     
chopnet                    on    10     
selizab                    on     9     
GoMets                     on     9      WPA
Noppe's Guest Network      on     9      WPA
John Mola's Network        on    18      WPA

So I am not able to reproduce your "bad" first results.
If you netcard scan produces inconsistent results then I will not be able to handle. I suppose if you see bad scan results, quit from select, and try again.

On your step 5.
I was wanting to see the results from a cold boot of ...

sudo wifi.sh auto

This is all I could see even piped it to a file and got nothing more.

I also tried a usb wifi adapter based on a different chip set and driver on another computer and had the same problem of getting a connection on the second try.  I also changed routers with no luck

I also used a memory stick install instead of a frugal install and got the same results.

I put together a USB install to show off tinycore to a colleague, using the 3.8rc and the network starter kit..

Guess what?  while the listing of AP's is perfect I have exactly the same connection issue, scans and detects AP's but absolutely would not connect.  thanks for the post with previous wifi builds I used each one until finally the last one (wifi_110615.tcz) connected immediately.  Am typing this using the connection created with wifi_110615.tcz extension, whilst no other version would associate with an AP..

With the version fromAfter selecting the access point the script echo's "Trying to associate with access point ...".   Then " could not associate with ap"  or something like that.

Did you try a second time? WEP or WPA?
After failure please post the output of iwconfig wlan0?

Yes second, third and more times..  the result was always the same "can not associate with ap" with the later version and "connection failed" errors with earlier versions.

The AP was open,  completely unsecured.   There were two AP's at this remote location;  one a one word ssid,  the other stronger ap ssid comprised three words with spaces between each.

Access points were always visible and clearly defined no matter which which version of wifi was used.  (each version was installed and loaded after a reboot)   I followed the same procedure with each version.

I'm such a mobile guy that who knows when I'll return to the prior mentioned location.

Well, I've since tried connecting at two other locations today without issue.  I'll continue monitor the situation and advise. I'll post the iwconfig wlan0 results next time


Only thing worth considering, it's possible that some other components belonging to other connection managers which I'd forgotten to remove may have caused the conflict??

Thanks for detailed feedback. Embedded spaces in ssid is a problem and will be addressed in next cut.

Robert,
I installed wifi.tcz  v4 using Apps on a different computer and used a wireless usb adapter based on rtl8187 instead of the built in wireless adapter that was giving  me bad first results on my asus 900a

The scan gave me good results with access points listed in the order of strength.   But a connection still could not be made on the first try.

A connection was successful ,however, on the second try.

Here is  the iwconfig wlan0 results of the failed try:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"2WIRE572" 
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:offs

Hmm. That is interesting because wifi.sh has been field tested on two different 900a eeepcs.
Could it be that you also require spaces in the ssid? I am working to support that feature.

I did not see any essids with spaces.
To make sure I relocated to a more controlled environment with normally 2 access points and retested
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Select Wifi Access Point

    1. 2WIRE851                  on    46   
    2. 2WIRE556                  on    36    WPA

Enter selection ( 1 - 2 ) or (q)uit:
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I  used the rtl8187 wireless adapter and again.

first try :  good scan with valid strengths ( see above) , but failure to associate with 2WIRE851

second try :   Success 

This happens on 3 different computers. All coexisting with Foresight Linux.

wifi.tcz ver 1 does not have this condition.  It always works correctly
