Connecting Wirelessly from a MID

Samsung Q1 Ultra

The Samsung Q1 Ultra kernel configuration includes the MadWiFi driver for the Atheros chipset.

To connect to an access point, do the following after the device has booted:

- Bring up an X term (click the upper left icon on the home screen, click "Utilities", then choose "XTerm")

- Check to make sure the WiFi is on:

iwconfig

- Bring up the wireless interface:

ifconfig ath0 up

- Scan for access points:

iwlist ath0 scan

If you are connecting to an access point with no encryption, simply type:

iwconfig ath0 essid "accesspoint"

replacing acesspoint with the name of the access point to which you want to connect, for example:

iwconfig ath0 essid "Guest"

Will connect you to the Intel Guest network

- If you need to connect to an encrypted network, type the following:

iwconfig ath0 key a1b2c3d4e5f

replacing "a1b2c3d4e5f" with the WEP key for your network

NOTE: if you connect to more than one network, and some of them use encryption and some don't, you may need to explicitly turn encryption off.

iwconfig ath0 key off

See man iwconfig for more details.

- Get an IP address via DHCP:

dhclient ath0

You should now be able to connect to the network.
