no essids in wifi.db (tc 4.6.x, 3.0.21-tinycore #3021 SMP i686)

[webb]

my wifi.db contains passwords but no essids. each line of wifi.db contains a leading tab, a wireless password, a trailing tab, and a newline, but no essid. i'm using sudo wifi.sh to connect. used to work a few tiny cores ago.

many thanks,
webb

ps: not sure how to check which 4.6.x i'm using but i downloaded and installed the current one about two weeks ago so maybe 4.6.1?

Hi webb

ps: not sure how to check which 4.6.x i'm using but i downloaded and installed the current one about two weeks ago so maybe 4.6.1?

Code: [Select]

cat /usr/share/doc/tc/release.txt

[curaga]

Or "version"

[webb]

thanks! version 4.6.2

Thanks again curaga and Rich for telling me of the existence of <pre>/usr/share/doc/tc/release.txt</pre> and <pre>version</pre>.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why wifi.sh is not saving essids?

If I manually insert the essid before the <pre>\t[password]</pre> into wifi.db, then I can connect normally with <pre>sudo wifi.sh auto</pre>

Many thanks,
Webb

Hi webb
Try updating wifi.tcz, I believe this issue was found and fixed.

[Rich]

Hi webb

[webb]
