No WIFI

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1.Install [beta 0.04-10.11.20]
2.Try to connect to AP
3.WIFI fails

Wifi cycles between scanning, connecting and disconnected

i have tried the steps outlined in both other open wifi defects, for that 
reason i think it is a different issue

I am having the exact same problem. If I wipe and reflash to an earlier 
version, or another ROM altogether, I have access to WiFi, but this install of 
0.04-10.11.20 does not allow me to access WiFi on any router whatsoever.

I'm having same issue, with the 0.04-10.11.20, I'm going back to 0.04-10.11.16.

I am having some troubles with WiFi too - wifi engages, but doesn't see 
networks and fails to connect. After 1-2 disable/enable it usually picks up and 
connects fine. This behaviour I started observing since the 0.04-2010.11.16

Thanks for the reports.
As I'm not facing any wifi issues, I will need you to make some tests to find 
the cause of your problems.

Changes between 0.04-10.11.15/16 and 0.04-10.11.20:
in /etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
 - HT_Enable changed from 1 to 0 (N mode disabled)

Changes between 0.03 and 0.04:
/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
 - WiFiAdhoc changed from 0 to 1 (to enable connection to AdHoc networks)
 - many other changes in the whole tiwlan.ini (it's taken from a new Motorola's build)

/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
 - file from a new Motorola's build

Attached are both files from the 0.03-10.11.14 release.
To test the possible wpa_supplicant.conf influence, you should probably delete 
your /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file.

I'll try to make this test, even changing between versions 0.03-11.14, 
0.04-10.11.15/16, 0.04-10.11.20 doesn't change anything, even turning on/off 
the wifi.
I cannot get RootExplorer, it just FC. I'll try to mod files in ADB mode (have 
to learn how :) )

Having same issue. replacing wpa_supplicant.conf and tiwlan.ini didn't solve 
the problem.

Reverting HT_Enable to 1 has fixed this problem for me, and I am able to once 
again connect to WiFi networks.

For me deleting wpa_supplicant.conf and replacing tiwlan.ini with the attached 
one solved the problem. Maybe jsut needed delete wpa_supplicant.conf. In the 
tiwlan.ini HT_Enable = 0 and WiFiAdhoc = 0. I hope it help.

Original comment by cae.agui...@gmail.com on 22 Nov 2010 at 8:06

[GoogleCodeExporter]

thx for help. but HT_Enable on 1 doesnt fix it and both (HT_Enable and 
WiFiAdhoc) to 0 doesnt help. (Also deleted the wpa_supplicant.conf)

Have you check if after deleting the wpa_supplicant.conf and restart the phone 
the wpa_supplicant.conf file is recreated? BTW i'm using version 04-11.20 AFAIK 
(not sure because i've installed and re-installed different versions)

I'm attaching my files

ok..the wpa_supplicant.conf wasnt recreated. restarted 2 times. Now im trying 
the new update-0.04-10.11.22 file.

Original comment by bleim...@googlemail.com on 22 Nov 2010 at 10:16

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Having same issue in 10.11.22. wpa_supplicant.conf isnt recreated and there is 
no wifi connection. Also copied a downloaded wpa_supplicant in the directory 
with no effect (restarted phone also)

Original comment by bleim...@googlemail.com on 22 Nov 2010 at 10:38

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If the wpa_supplicant.conf wasn't recreated there's something different wrong. 
I'll test the new update later, at home so i can make more tests.

reverting tiwlan.ini to the provided previous version and changing HT_Enable 
from 1 to 0 (N mode disabled), has the wifi working correctly for me

well updating to update-0.04-10.11.22 have no negative effect, Wifi still 
working without changing any file. As mentioned before I had Wifi working after 
deleting wpa_supplicant.conf file and restarting, this file was automatically 
created with default values by the OS.

Ok wifi works for me without wpa encryption. Have to test wpe when im at home. 
but i want to work with wpa. anybody an idea whats the problem with the 
wpa_supplicant. had made 2 fresh installs. Am i able to install 
update-0.04-10.11.22 on a clean 2.1 system? One more way i could try.

Delete your saved Networks and readd it, then the Problem is gone.
Tested with WPA2 and WEP

didnt work for me. Wifi still cycles between scanning, connecting and 
disconnected on WPA Connections. Tried it 3-4 times

Oh I forget one step before, delete or rename the wpa_supplicant.conf. This 
worked for me.

tried it with another wpa wifi and it works a little bit better. Have a 
connection for 2-3 minutes. But the wpa_supplicant.conf isnt recreated (with 
reboot). And my old Wifi still not working. with 2.1 it worked flawless.

ok now its working..tried some different things, but thinks the solutn was to 
set the permissions of the manually inserted wpa_supplicant.conf to the same 
like the original tiwlan.ini.

Issue 241 has been merged into this issue.

Original comment by kabal...@gmail.com on 25 Nov 2010 at 12:02

[GoogleCodeExporter]

with latest release (update-0.04-10.12.03) wi-fi stopped working again 
(WPA2-PSK encryption). Furthermore, reverting to older versions of tiwlan.ini & 
/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf does not seem to fix the problem.

I think, that the problem has something to do with:

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=114504

"...The  cause is that the wireless driver in many of the custom ROMs is 
WiLink_Driver_6.1.0.0.131, which incorrectly sends two WPA2 RSN IEs that are 
different. It uses the value of the PTKSA from the AP to generate the PTKSA and 
GTKSA settings in the RSN capabilities section for the first RSN IE, but just 
uses 0 for the second. If WMM/WME is enabled on the AP, the AP sets its PTKSA 
to > 0, causing the Droid to respond with one RSN IE with non-zero values. But, 
hostapd uses the second RSN IE, notices the mismatch, and drops the 
connection..."

My logs on my wifi router confirm the problem:

Probably just a side note; I had the same symptoms where Wifi cycles between 
scanning, connecting and disconnected. I looked at the log and it was saying 
"Failed to authenticate, disabling network". Even though I was putting the 
correct password in /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf wasn't getting updated, even 
after choosing Forget Network.  I had to edit the password in the file to be 
able to connect to the WPA-TKIP AP again.

hm..strange. I can not connect to my router, when it it is in mode 802.11b/g/n. 
It works fine if i choose 802.11g only mode.

Having the same problems as Dean, Wifi loops between Scanning, Connecting and 
Disconnected. Worked fine with Moto stock 2.1.
Tried it with deleting /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf - didn't help.

napsty, check if the password/encryption settings are correct by looking at the 
wpa_supplicant.conf file. To me it seemed like updating the password from the 
Wireless & Networks settings menu wasn't updating the wpa_supplicant.conf file. 
Once I updated the setting in that file from the console it connected right 
away.

Yes, I actually did check that and the information was updated and correct.

Update 14.01.2011: At work I am able to connect to an Ad-Hoc WiFi which is 
protected by WEP. At home I tried it with WPA and WPA2 PSK, didn't work there.
Update 15.01.2011: So at home I changed the encryption on the AP to WEP - 
Milestone was still not able to connect. I changed the AP back to WPA2 PSK and 
restarted the AP - now suddenly my milestone could connect to it and reconnects 
to it.
It's possible that my AP has a problem, difficult to say if it's the Milestone 
or the AP.

I'm unable to connect to my dlink router (haven't check the router logs or 
channel yet) since the driver update in 0.05. I can connect at work to the WPA2 
Enterprise network without a problem.
