cd into /dev/net & list folders & subfolders:
There is not folder/subfolder in /dev/net
In Network preferences can you select the network card?
No network card shown.
what information does ifconfig give for the card?:
I typed ifconfig in the terminal and got:
MTU: 16384 others are: inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0 and Metric: 0 up loopback link…
by receive: the value is all: 0
Do you use a router? If so, assign the network card a static ip and ping the router:
How to do this? Cannot choose the card in the network preferences.
Which is more likely to work?
The Wireless or the Ethernet card?
Should I write a bug report? I think this is known to the devs.
if you see nothing under /dev/net that means no network drivers loaded for your network cards. Your network cards were not detected, either because driver does not exist or if driver exists then it was not aware of your hardware.
Also, you will see nothing in network preferences too when /dev/net is empty.
Easiest to get working is the wired ethernet card. Wireless is in early stages and I do not believe Colin has added support for your card yet.
Haiku uses FreeBSD network layer for many of the network drivers. Looking at FreeBSD site I saw: [amd64, i386] Broadcom BCM4401 based Fast Ethernet adapters ( bfe(4) driver)
Looks like your WiFi card should work according to this post. Not sure why your hardware is not being detected though - very weird, since there is a bfe driver & looks like WiFi driver too.
This person has same WiFi as yours from what I can see and got it working but first you have to find out why nothing is showing up under /dev/net for you (empty network preferences). File ticket to have developer figure it out.
Atm the only wifi driver included in the nightlies is the atheroswifi driver. To use the iprowifi3945 driver you would need to compile it yourself and install the required firmware in the appropriate place. Including the driver in the nightlies is on its way, though
If you are interested of when this will happen, I recommend watching the commit messages and waiting for something like “added iprowifi3945 to HaikuImage”. HaikuImage is the name of the file containing all the stuff which goes into a nightly build.
So I just wait for the WIFI driver to be included in the Haiku Image.
For the wired(ethernet)-driver I have to fill out a report I think.
(…file ticket with syslog, listdev & state /dev/net empty to have one of the developers look into fixing your issue.)
Ok, I will do that, too. Wired I still use alot, even if I could choose wireless too.
that is definitely a good news. I use an atheros card for wifi (EeePC), but also have a 3945ABG miniPCI-E card, so I am going to download a nightly and test it.
I use a mac-filter now…
I have only one WIFI Notebook.
The other 2 Computers are connected by cable/wire… do I need to give them mac-address access too?
Someone have enable this Wifi card ( Intel Pro 8945abg )?
I have the same trouble Haiku not recognize it here. Have attempt to make update, install wifi_firmwares…ifconfig don’t show it (just the Ethernet card).
(I am based on the Beta install for now and have changed repository to master)
