WPA Manual Setting
If you are having trouble connecting to an specific access point, you may want to try using this simple script: http://wiki.laptop.org/images/4/44/Wpa.sh. Once this procedure is successful, you will not have to do it again as the settings will be remembered when you reboot.
Instructions:
- Copy http://wiki.laptop.org/images/4/44/Wpa.sh to a USB stick.
- On your XO, open the terminal activity from the taskbar on the home page.
- Determine the name of your USB stick (if you do not know it), by typing: df
- Look for the line that starts with /dev/sda1 and read across to get the name of your USB stick. It will start with /media/USBname.
- Copy the Wpa.sh file from the USB stick by typing: cp /media/<USBname> .
- Execute the following command to have administrative privileges "su -"
- Execute the script "sh wpa.sh"
- Follow the instructions on screen, providing the SSID, passphrase and WPA version of your Access Point
- Reboot the XO (as instructed in the end of step 6)
- Go to the mesh view and click on the circle of your AP, that should be showing as
open now (no lock attached to the circle)
