Check if PiNet works on PPP
Added by Hammel over 1 year ago.
Updated 7 months ago.
Description
Check if the PPP's wifi supports AP mode. If so, then PiNet will work for simple network setup. It's certainly preferrable to having to write an app with a keyboard to enter data on the phone.
- Target version changed from Xeon 1.0 - Asimov to 3.0 - Corrino
- Severity changed from 03 - Medium to 02 - High
- Status changed from New to In Progress
- % Done changed from 0 to 10
Initial test of pinet-client on ppp:
Jan 18 08:51:08 (none) user.notice root: * calculate_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for pinet:
Jan 18 08:51:08 (none) user.notice root: * imwww *
Jan 18 08:51:08 (none) user.notice root: * opkg_solver_install: Cannot install package pinet.
So the imwww dependency in the opkg/control file needs to be removed for pinet-client builds.
- % Done changed from 10 to 20
Fixed (not pushed yet). Next problems:
- Selected/Password fields are too long - the former pushes out the Security combo box.
- Selected/Password fields are too thin - should be taller.
- Buttons are too thin - should be taller.
- Keyboard is not displayed, possibly because the required keyboard is not installed (it should be installed with pigtk - check the xeon dev system pigtk buildroot package).
- Touching Selected/Password fields should make them active, but app crashes instead.
- Status changed from In Progress to Rejected
I just realized this is a duplicate of RM #1063 because PPP won't have an AP mode (no tethering supported).
Closing issue in favor of RM #1063.
- Is duplicate of Feature #1063: Add phone mode to PiNet to configure WiFi added
