I don't have setting the mode anywhere in the script. I just get iwconfig errors when trying to set the mode.

--edit--

disregard that, mode seems to be working okay for me. I'll add it to the next update.

maddox, I figured that's what you meant. I updated to 0.6.1 which adds "mode" to the iwconfig options.

it's missing the last character (nber 7) of the ESSID
That's a known problem with older versions of the Ralink drivers. I contributed the fixed version of the rt2570 driver (compatible with Puppy2.17) here -

hello plinej,
After installing the 2 pets (new-network wizard & rt2570) things have changed. The stick is configured and UP while doing the following tests. I just ran each prog without creating a profile or trying to connect, to see what each prog displayed on start.

ver 3 to 3.1 -> correctly displayed -> mode managed , encrypt open , but NO channel nber
ver 3.2 -> correctly displayed -> mode managed , encrypt open , but channel (lima 6)
ver 3.3 to 4 -> correctly displayed -> mode managed , channel 6 , encrypt open
# after ver. 4 -> mode , channel , encrypt -> are broken , looks like my doing. Seems like i sent you on the wrong track, after version 4, soooooory :(

ver 5 -> displayed hidden essid , no mode , no channel , no encrypt
ver 6 -> displayed hidden essid , no mode , channel auto , no encrypt , ap mac auto
ver 6.1 -> correctly displayed -> IP addr - hidden essid , no mode , channel auto , no encrypt , ap mac auto

Still willing to test if you're interested..
Toutou doesn't hang on boot anymore with the 2 pet's, but still no autoconnect. btw, tried to unistall new network-wizard pet, it broke esmourguit's connection-wizard, so reinstalled it.

Alright, I should be able to work on it tonight if you can either PM me or post your output of "iwlist scanning" & "iwconfig". There must be some other little differences between my output and yours.

0.7 is now up.

maddox, I plugged in your iwlist & iwconfig outputs into my script and I got the correctly desired outputs after some more code modification. Let me know if it works for you.

Hi plinej,

I think it is not useful to store wireless profiles on more than one place in puppy. Traditionally this is /etc/WAG/profiles-config. How about reading and writing to that file with the existing function library at /usr/sbin/wag-profiles.sh ?

note: Pwireless 0.8.2 now uses profile-conf as database. Your old profiles are still there. ~/.config/Pwireless However, if you create a new Profile with Pwireless and the name already exists it will be overwritten.

Just a little problem to mention with Pwireless.
I have iwconfig from Wireless-Tool version 29 (iwconfig -v).
iwconfig wlan0 returns:
...
...
Quality:....
...
...
while Pwireless looks for 'Quality='.
So Quality and Signal/Noise are not shown.

Am I the only one with Quality: instead of Quality= ?

Thanks for the feedback. I will certainly tweak the script to make it work correctly for you.

Thank's for me and for newcomers who will appreciate Pwireless works for them too out of the box.

Hello Jason

Would it be possible to add a splash window while Pwireless searches for networks. I start Pwireless, and 'nothing' happens for some seconds.
