Is there a way of manually configuring the wireless ? Its seems lots of people 
have issues with wireless, would be good to have a sticky in the wiki on how to 
manually configure the wireless card. Ethernet always seems fine.

Turn off Ethernet first, Its enabled by default. 
Wifi and Ethernet will not work at the same time on any x86 build AFAIK.

Changed to enhancement as the those devices aren't currently supported and we 
don't have one to test on.

Hi, My name is Shawn and im new to android completely, i just recieved my phone 
in the mail the other day only to discover after a little googling, that its in 
the process of being ported to x86. this, of course, is of great interest to 
me, because im moving away from ios development and liking the feel of android 
so far.

ANYYwAYs, i similiarly have a Dell d620, which uses the iwl3945.ko 
module/driver that's included in the build, but i am strangely unable to get 
any response other than error, when trying to enable wifi in settings, i've ran 
dmesgs and more and as far as i can see the wifi card is recognized but 
otherwise, is useless. if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated, im 
using 2.2 currently, is there another build thats known to be wifi-compatible?
more details to be supplied upon request.

I have the same prob on Aspire1 AOA150 ZG5.

Have tried to disable the ethernet but still didn't help at all. 
But it works like a charm using Androidx86 1.6.

I'm having intel 3945 wireless card, I'm managed to resolve the issue of 
"error" connection when enabling the wifi.

I'm using the froyo 2.2 android x86 and the kernel was 2.6.35.7-dell-sparta-duo 
(iso), and was not using generic version (it is not ok wireless with intel 3945 
card, may be no wpa_supplicant at /system/bin/).

First I  had install android to hardisk. Enabling the read/write access.

Use live cd like ubuntu, copy the firmware, like iwlwifi-3945- 1 and 
iwlwifi-3945-2, to /system/lib/firmware/.

Reboot androidx86

Enter to terminal mode (like Alt +F1)
Copy wpa_supplicant.conf from /system/etc/wifi/ to /data/misc/wifi/

And wpa_supplicant.conf to be wifi group. Or else use
Chown wifi wpa_supplicant.conf and chgrp wifi wpa_supplicant.conf at 
/data/misc/wifi

Verify networking by using netcfg, should see eth0 is up and wlan0 is down. 
Disable the eth0 by
Ifconfig eth0 down
And enable wifi
Ifconfig wlan0 up

Exit from terminal by ALT+F7

Start enabling the wireless button at setting/wireless. It should be start 
scanning. Manual key your ssid/password(if any), don't click to ssid by system. 

May your wireless will be disconnect randomly, because it cannot get the ip 
address from router. You have to manual assign the ip address. Like

ALT+F1, terminal mode
Ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.110 netmask 255.255.255.0

And check eth0 is down.

If you don't find wlan0 by command netcfg, then modprobe iwl3945. And enable 
back the wireless wlan0.

hope this help

Guys, I have a similar problem with wifi "error" when having loaded either 
Android 1.6 or 2.2 for netbooks. I loaded android onto a HP 2133 and even with 
turning the ethernet off the wifi wont work nor connect to the existing wifi 
point.
Please help. I am a real novice when it comes to linux or coding generally.

I'm trying to install Wireless LAN drivers for a Latitude e4200.

I have no LAN or Wireless connectivity at all, and about 1 week's experience 
using the command line terminal (So simple instructions only, please).

I have a TELUS Wireless 5550 HSPA Mini Card 
(http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/uk/en/rc1050265/DriverDetails/DriverFileFor
mats?DriverId=G0M29&FileId=2731094301&productCode=latitude-e4200&urlProductCode=
False).

Whenever I try to start the wireless connection it simply says "Error".

Does anybody know where I can get the software from, and how I can get it on to 
my system without Wired\Wireless access?
