Title: WiFi connection problems (latest official firmware from 2014-08-20)
Post by: Wild Penguin on June 15, 2022, 04:30:06 pm
Hi,

I can not connect with gcwconnect anymore. I used to, but it's been years since I've played with this thing, and obviously the WiFi settings (probably even the router) have changed.

Details:

I've found the network connections in /media/data/local/home/.local/share/gcwconnect/networks which I can edit by hand (and verified the password this way, too!). I've reduced WLAN_DHCP_RETRIES to 2 from 20, to speed up failed attempts a bit - otherwise it takes ages as it keeps retrying.

So, it seems gcw zero does not - for some reason - think it has a proper connection (IP address? gateway? DNS?) and bails out.

The log I've got is not that helpful:

# cat gmenu2x.log
ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not permitted

Process 2192 died: No such process; trying to remove PID file. (/var/run//avahi-autoipd.wlan0.pid)

Any other ideas? Any other logs I should look into?
