Problem:slitaz 2.0: WLAN open network
  • funkturmfunkturm March 2010
    Hello all,

    i use an ASUS eee 1101 HA with slitaz 2.0. The WLAN works fine.

    I have now an open network at a hotel.

    With the slitaz - Network Manager i can't connect to this open network. I see all Networks near the Hotel (same as with other Linux systems).

    I think the problem is behind table and chair. Did someone know the todo to connect a wireless network without WEP / WPA?

    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards Christian

    Hi Christian,

    I'm not using 2.0 but we recently fix a bug wich prevent to connect to unencrypted access point in cooking. Can you post here the part of you're /etc/init.d/network.sh wich is between
    wifi()
    {
    ...
    }

    if the bug is the same I will give you a fixed network.sh and report the bug.

    You can try to open the connection manually with
    iwconfig wlan0 essid name_of_the_access-point
    where wlan0 is the name of you're interface and name_of_the_access-point the name in letter (with good case)

    Open if Encryption key : off

    Associate to open access point
