Currently I am trying to connect to my local eduroam university network. Got some years of Amiga and Linux experience but I am new to MorphOS.

As far as I got it there is no GUI for entering username/password/connection details in MorphOS and I have to edit Prefs/Env-Archive/sys/Wireless.prefs by hand. Well, that's ok for me.

Is there a Shell-command to scan in detail for network parameters? I need that as my current Wireless.prefs does not work. Something like "iwlist scanning" in Linux.

There are no tools, but the Wireless manager does have an Arexx interface that's mostly compatible with wpa_cli & family. So you can

Code:
```
rxcmd WLANMNGR_GLOBAL INTERFACES
```
which will give you the interfaces list.

Code:
```
rxcmd WLANMNGR_GLOBAL GET_IFACEPORT <device>
```
will give you the port name to talk to an actual device.

Then you can rxcmd the new port with typical wpa supplicant control commands, like LIST_NETWORKS, SCAN, SCAN_RESULTS, STATUS, etc. See http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/devel/ctrl_iface_page.html

But the best you can do is to try to copy a working config from a machine running linux. Also, I'm not 100% sure all those auth methods are actually supported by the wirelessmanager...

Thanks for the hint! But unfortunately it didn't turn out yet...

Quote:

rxcmd WLANMNGR_GLOBAL GET_IFACEPORT bcm43xx_wl.device:0
quits with an error message "RXCmd: wrong number of arguments".

So I got the connection data from LUbuntu Linux 14.04 running on the same Powerbook 5.4. The data is retrieved from the config file, after networkmanager successfully connected to the university network:

Code:
```
[ipv6]
method=auto

[connection]
id=eduroam
uuid=e07e6e45-9bd9-4ca7-b001-2e7bd71adb1c
type=802-11-wireless

[802-11-wireless]
ssid=eduroam
mode=infrastructure
mac-address=00:0D:93:83:7D:A3
security=802-11-wireless-security

[802-1x]
eap=peap;
identity=username
phase2-auth=mschapv2
password-flags=1

[ipv4]
method=auto

[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt=wpa-eap
auth-alg=open
```
Which I use in ENVARC:Wireless.prefs like that:
Code:
```
network={
	ssid="eduroam"
	mode=infrastructure
	eap=peap;
	identity="username"
	psk="password"
	phase2-auth=mschapv2
	password-flags=1
	key-mgmt=wpa-eap
	auth-alg=open
	priority=1
}
```
Is there any log-file written where I can check what went wrong during connection setup in MorphOS?

i would really appreciate an extensive WiFi manager for MorphOS. I have the same problem with my PowerBook and as a matter of fact i dont want to install linux, just to get my wifi config right. I hope that this is something thats on your todo list.

i would even consider a bounty and donate for it.

I think you use the wrong text.
Your text is for ipv6 (I think the MorphOS stack can't ipv6).
Use the settings for ipv4.

Code:
```
[ipv4]
method=auto

[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt=wpa-eap
auth-alg=open
```
And use the commant "method=auto".

Yeah, sorry, it needs to be invoked like

Code:
```
rxcmd WLANMNGR_GLOBAL "GET_IFACEPORT bcm43xx_wl.device:0"
```

Ok, after a lenghty research session on XUbuntu 14.04 (running on my Powerbook) I got working config data by fiddling with wpa_supplicant in the shell. The first entry is my Nokia smarthphone where I can share my internet connection, the second one is the university network. I copied over the config-file to ENVARC:sys/Wireless.prefs.

Code:


update_config=1

network={
	ssid="Call from the grave"
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	#proto=RSN
	#pairwise=CCMP
	#group=CCMP
	psk="PASSWORD"
}

network={
	ssid="eduroam"
	#mode=0
	#auth_alg=OPEN
	#proto=RSN
	#group=TKIP
	#pairwise=CCMP
	key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
	#eap=PEAP
	#phase1="peaplabel=0"
	#phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
	identity="USERNAME"
	password="PASSWORD"
	priority=1
}

This config works perfectly on Linux! Unfortunately it still doesn't work on MorphOS. "eduroam" gets a blue color in the WlanManager, "Call from the grave" gets yellow or red. When I connect to "Call from the grave" it still keeps asking me my password although it is properly saved in Wireless.prefs.

The entries commented out are parameters which were not needed on Linux. On MorphOS it doesen't seem to make a difference if they are commented out or not. Still no success...

Indeed, and now you can do

rxcmd WLANMNGR "STATUS", etc. The commands are standard wpa_cli commands. Sorry I can't help you more but I'm rarely using MorphOS these days - no time :(

I have same problem with my crappy Lumia. I get it working if I delete ENV:Sys/WLANMNGR (what is empty anyway). If it existing I cant get online with my Nokia.

However when surfing the system freezes very soon so it is unusable atm, for me at least. Haven't tried with Android phone yet.

I investigate it later when I can...

Many thanks for your help so far!
Code:

rxcmd WLANMNGR "STATUS"

is working fine. I will try to investigate further. Also I can do some testing with wpa_supplicant under Linux is this is of help.
