wifi/wpa gui for opie

[Nicolas FR]

Hi,

First I am very glad to see that Opie project is going on. I have a C760
that I don't use anymore because x11 is too slow for regular use and using
outdated cacko or sharprom is not an option anymore.

I a few months ago I made some work to backport wpa-gui to cacko and it
worked fine. Would any of you be interested in using this work to add a  gui
to  OPIE to manage wifi connections? Making a recipe with patches for
wpa-gui does not seem to be the good option, as there are too many
modifications. Maybe that would be a better idea to "fork" wpa-gui based on
my work and incorporate it into OPIE base code? I really believe that a 2007
distro should have as a base component a gui to manage wifi profiles with
WPA support.

I don't have time (nor the skills) to do this by myself, so I hope someone
can do it. If so I'll search through my archives and send the files (they
must be somewhere...).

Btw, I have another question related to Opie which I believe is very
important on a user point of view: is there any new decent browser that
could be used under Opie (I am even talking about "hakish" ways like ripping
Opera from the Nokia N800, ...)? Or are we doomed to use the old buggy
konqueror ?


Best regards and thank you for the work done with Opie.
Nicolas.

The application is very good and useful (IMHO) for OPIE. I can't say
about me that I'll surely will have this work done, but I think it's
worth to put your code to public, so one of us will try to do something.
Regards,
Dmitriy

I just remember that I had the source code hosted here for a while:
http://sharpromfeed.home.linuxtogo.org/download/projects/wpa_gui_for_qpe.0.5.6.tgz

It did compile as is in OE for cacko/sharprom, maybe there is one or two
includes to change for Opie (qpe)?

I look at home if I have a newer version or not.

Nicolas.

Although I am interested in what you have to offer, I am unlikely to do
the work of integrating this into the Opie tree by myself. If you wanted
to open a bug and post a patch it would be more motivational for me.

Think you could get this into a more agreeable form?

I have just setup a OE environment again to build OPIE so I'll try to do
what you suggest!

Regards,
Nicolas.
