Introduction

Description

lint-wifi is a relatively simplistic application written in PyGTK for the Neo FreeRunner. It aims to create a GUI-based method for associating with wireless networks, and provide various bits of connection-related information and control. It is designed to work without a stylus, except when entering passwords (which are normally stored). It is at the moment intended to do nothing unless a button is pushed.

It will be released soon.

Beta Testing

lint-wifi now has a project page[1]. Those who wish to beta test, please go to there and look at [svn]. Please submit all bug reports to the trac there.

svn help
http://projects.openmoko.org/scm/?group_id=167

There's also an unofficial [git repo].

i made a new pkg last i checked you need some things in the scaredycat repo like pygtk http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Repositories
http://we.trekbeyond.org/~kd8ikt/moko/buildz/lint-wifi_0.1_armv4t.ipk
also added a few easter egg addons like wifiweasel ;) accelxranr.py, gta02.py and tree

Requirements

There are several requirements needed to run lint-wifi:


Tour

Layout

lint-wifi is broken into pages, each page offering various bits of information or control. Below are the pages, as they exist at version .1A

AP List

Aplist.png (image outdated)

AP List will show APs that can currently be seen. They will initially be ordered by how wpa_supplicant feels are best. Columns include:

  • essid
  • Enc -- Consisting of "WPA", "WEP" and "off"
  • Signal
  • Chan
  • S -- indicating State or Status:
    • C: Connected
    • K: Known/configured (eg, password is stored) and enabled
    • D: Known/configured and disabled
    • -: Unknown
  • Mode -- At present is unused, will indicate Managed/Infrastructure vs Ad-Hoc

Buttons:

  • Scan
  • Edit -- Edits the settings of APs configured or visible
  • Exit

Status

Status.png (image outdated)

The Status page will primarily indicate the configured status of eth0.

The Renew DHCP button can be used to nudge udhcpc into renewing. An "Enable All APs" button enables all that APs set to disabled.

Conn

Conn.png

The Conn page shows information related to the associated AP.

Config

Config is at present empty, but will contain various lint-wifi configuration options, such as support for hiding certain columns in the AP List.



A couple other screenshots: (outdated)
