WiFi - Not connecting to access point
lmart:
Juanito
thanks for your reply
at a loss as what to do
does TC_Install load the drivers as "onboot"?
know nothing about wifi.sh, will try to find it
Juanito:
Eh?
From this:
--- Quote ---WiFi does not connect to my router. Here's what happened after clicking the WiFi icon.
scan networks
send credential to access point
udhcpc
failed to connect
--- End quote ---
..it looks like you were doing the right thing, you just need to run "dmesg" after "failed to connect"

I did run dmesg | tail -20, as requested, and provided the output
tried wifi again, attached is the full output from dmesg
Juanito:
Ah - OK

There's no mention of the firmware being loaded - not that this means it wasn't - is the firmware-ipw2200 extension loaded (look for /tmp/tcloop/firmware-ipw2200)?
There's also no mention of a network connection - eth0, eth1, wlan0, wlan1 - being assigned, so for sure nothing will work until one is assigned, but that will depend on the firmware being loaded.

contents of /mnt/tcloop attached
when I launch wifi by clicking the icon, the program finds eth1 and requests a password
I supply the password, credentials to access point, udhcpc, sends discovery 3 times, messages "no lease, failing", then failed to connect
with that said, how can I tell if the firmware is loaded?
