OLD Wifi Manager - No longer supported

**alarmed** · 12-20-2007, 04:16 PM

Yes the wireless skin loads fine shows my wifi connection in the window lets me disconnect, refresh and connect using buttons on the left

only no info shows where it should on the bottom half of the screen untill I manually run wifi_man.

how is wifi_man suppose to start?

use

Code:

 "ONSKINSTART","RUN;$SKINPATH$wifi_man.exe"

or in rr.ini add it to startcommand= no quotes here

Code:

startcommand=RUN;$SKINPATH$wifi_man.exe

I have a: Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Wi-Fi Finder ver 1.21
(That is the physical adapter name in System info, etc.)
It does NOT show a DEV=ID# in the details section when I go to the Adapter, etc.
(BTW.. When I run the WifiGetInfo.exe file, it just Blinks and nothing is shown or written to the ini file like it would with an installed wireless nic, etc.)

None of the Buttons work and the Info will show up in the locations, but will not show Actual Information, just the "Not Determined", etc. error info.

Any Ideas on what I can do???
Thanks!

the latest wifi_man.exe(Beta 0.6) version creates the ini for you, WifiGetInfo.exe is not used any more.

First option would not work but second works great

i have a question.. is there something in your script that makes road runner exit the wireless.skin file? i ask because i enter the screen... get labels filled in as they are supposed to be and see the box embed.. but maybe 2 seconds later i'm shot back out to menu.skin. In checking the debug.txt for road runner i dont see any command sending me back but it happens every time i use the "WIRELESS" command to open the skin. if i simply do load;wireless.skin manually it doesnt do it. Any idea on what this might be?

EDIT.. nevermind.. it was because i didnt have the error pop up in my skin file... but i dont understand why there is an error if the labels are populating as they should.

i'll pm you the au3 file, is very simple, that way you can see whats going on.

Hi EL CAMINO thanks for previous help but got a quick question If I could get wifi_man working with this script

"ONSKINSTART","RUN;$SKINPATH$wifi_man.exe"

instead of startcommand=RUN;$SKINPATH$wifi_man.exe

would it enable/dis-enable wifi_man.exe on opening and closing the wifi page instead of wifi_man running all the time from load up

trying to keep my cpu to a minimum

yea, what you can do is what john does in DFX3.0, when loading wireless skin.

from

Code:

"WIRELESS"

to this

Code:

"WIRELESS||RUN;wifi_man.exe"

when you leave wireless skin use.

from

Code:

"EXIT"

to this

Code:

"EXIT||CLOSEWINDOW;wifi_man"
