[ydl-gen] wi-fi connection (angelo_da_re)

Sat Feb 14 23:06:36 MST 2009

Angelo,

If you're not using a router with DHCP on your local area network, and your
ISP allocates dynamic IP addresses, I would suggest NOT using static IP in
your PS3 network setup. Unless I am missing something, in which case it
would help if you could try to be more specific. What is your exact HW
setup?

Regards,
Thierry

I spent some time before getting wifi to work on the PS3 (YDL 6.1).

Wicd is really just a graphical interface to the network settings, so after
a while, I stopped using it and instead used the plain network manager.
Global DNS doesn't really help unless you have multiple IP interfaces active
(it just saves time) Set your primary DNS server address to your main
router/modem like you did, then leave the 2nd and 3rd empty.

The trick here, is when you enter your WEP or WPA key: make sure you type x0
(lowercase x, number 0) then your key.
Example: x0mywifikey

Make sure your wifi interface is active - if it already is, then de-activate
then re-activate it to reload the settings.

Never be afraid to restart linux when in doubts - some processes are
difficult to restart and a reboot always does the trick.

Let us know if this helps.

Thierry

If I try to access rhe net via Wicd, it always says "not connected". I use
static DNS, giving the address of the modem and, as secondary DNS,
0.0.0.0.Should I use global DNS? or should I fill the DNS3 field ? In this
case, with what? If anyone can help, it would be greatly apprciated. Thanks
in advance.

I tried to connect with Wicd, but it was impossible.
I then activated the network manager and I clicked on "activate": it 
connected, and I was able to receive/send emails and to do the package 
update (which was my priority).
But now, it wants to reconnect to the same address, which is no longer 
available, since my service uses dynamic IP's.
How can I initialize the net parameters again ?
If I use "configure" from the Network Manager, it then sends errors like 
"set bit rate: operation not supported", and so on.
I figure the best way to do the trick is to initialize the network 
parameters again, then start Wicd, then activate the wlan interface with 
check network devices.
I need a suggestion about how I can initialize the net parameters. Thanks in
advance.
