MorphOS wifi?

jaesonk · 13 March 2021, 00:43

I recently installed MorphOS on an old PowerBookG4. The install went smoothly.

My question is about connecting to wifi. My home network doesn't broadcast its SSID. On other systems, I can select OTHER and enter a network name and info. I don't see that option in the MorphOS settings. It only offers me the visible networks. Is there a way for MorphOS to connect to an invisible network?

I haven't been added to the official MorphOS mailing list yet, so I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has a solution.

Thanks.

Thanks. That page looked promising. I followed the instructions, added the scan_ssid=1 line, but it still doesn't seem to work if my SSID is hidden.

I must have registered on that site a long time ago. But the password reset doesn't seem to be working for me.

Powerbooks have a weak wifi communication. Try putting it near the router. Certainly 5ghz ones doesnt work.
Perhaps trying a fixed ip instead dhcp.

Im sure that in morphzone there are some threads about this.
