Hi ncafferkey & yes. The whole of the DEVS folder is copied over. - Firmware is Devs/Firmware Folder & wifipi.device is in Devs/Networks.

WirelessManager is copied to C: from Prism2 Software.

UserStartup is:

;BEGIN WirelessManager
C:RUN <>NIL: C:WirelessManager wifipi.device
;END WirelessManager

& Envarc:Sys/wireless.prefs is:

network={
ssid="your network name" <---I do change this to the hotspot name on my phone & set phone to NONE for Security.
key_mgmt=NONE
scan_ssid=1
}

I run scan_ssid=1 because I hide the unsecure Hotspot. Have tried it open & removing scan_ssid=1 from the wirless.config just to try & connect. Same event.

Maybe there’s some useful debug output from Sashimi? Otherwise, perhaps Michal would be interested to hear about this problem directly.

If WirelessManager fails to load wifipi.device, provide a full path to the file, this will definitely help you.

Btw. In case you are not absolutely sure what you are doing, please read this:

It did.... of a fashion....

;BEGIN WirelessManager
C:RUN <>NIL: C:WirelessManager System/Devs/Networks/wifipi.device (if I type ":" after System, I get a Smiley )
;END WirelessManager

At least when I ran "WirelessManager wifipi.device", it did connect to the Wifi module & list the Mac address of the WiFi module belonging the CM4. As soon as it reports connected, it disconnects with a cancel number 0?

I'm happy enough hiding the unsecure Network to test but somewhat peeved at my own ineptitude for not being able to make this connection happen.

I also really appreciate your help Michal, but ask you not to sweat on it at Alpha stage. Use the time replying to me in order to get the full version ready asap & then there is USB & hardwired Ethernet for the A1200 break out module to focus on.

It's good to know there is positive progress on a Wi-Fi solution & I'm equally as excited for this as I am frustrated I can't make it work for myself.

Keep up the great work!

Are you running that in your startup-sequence (or part thereof)?

I find that if I do that, it never connects and closes immediately. I have a script that I run after WB has loaded and it works every time:

run c:wirelessmanager device="sys:devs/networks/wifipi.device" config="sys:prefs/env-archive/sys/wireless.prefs" verbose
wait 3
run addnetinterface timeout=15 wifipi

Might be worth comparing notes. Also if you can get onto the pistorm discord, there's loads of folks there willing to help.

It was a pleasure Tommycat ;-) to test all those demos!

Latest development of the wifi driver enables WPA2 encryption and Miami(DX) support. So it is getting there.
Speeds on my A1200 without any external antenna and router on the floor below reach 4Mbytes/s . Other people with router nearer and external antennas went over 5Mb/s ! Not sure if we witnessed these kinds of network speeds on real HW before Go pistorm!

Great news!! Wifi addition will be just sweet
