@amigamia - Is there a specific sequence to get the network running over Wi-Fi? I keep getting issues. I managed to make it work 2 out of 10 times and when I reboot, I have to fiddle with the Wireless manager and network configs.

Here is my process:

1. I change the net0 interface driver to bwfm.device
2. I add my access point ID + Pass phrase and WPA
3. Wireless manager comes up sometimes after step 1 and other times after step 2
4. After step 2, if I re-enter the same pass phrase for the correct access point ID, I get an IP and I can ping google.com
5. If I reboot, I am back to no IP address via DHCP
6. if manage to bring up the wireless manager and then set "start network on reboot" it won't save and it gives an error.
7. Also why does Wireless manager not have a close option? When I am good to go, this thing just floats on the screen and can't get rid of i unless I reboot.

Is there a simpler way to setting up Wi-Fi on AROS? I recount the same but to a lesser extent on AROS on Intel.

It's a frustrating experience that no one should go through and honestly a deterrant to new users.

Similar experience - but after 2 days I think I have perfected it for my network. (The settings do not seem to save however).

1. Go to "Wireless" panel first and put in my Network name, "WPA" and password
2. "Edit" the net0 interface
2a. change the driver to bwfm.device
2.b set IPV4 to "DHCP"
2.c set IPV6 to "DHCP"
2.d set net0 to "DHCP"
2e. set Primary DNS to 10.0.0.1 and Secondary DNS to 10.0.0.1 (for my network)
3. Press "Save"

This seems to start AROSTCP, the Wireless Manager and the DHCP client.

In a console/terminal type "status" to see if it is running. The following should be running.

- AROSTCP
- WirelessManager
- AROSTCP DHCP Client

But even after all of this, the Wireless manager may not be authenticating with the access point. I've found starting a second WirelessManager so I can see "stdout" in a terminal gives me a log of what the wireless manager is going (it is wpa_supplicant under there)

Code Download source



run wirelessmanager device=bwfm.device

I've updated my entry, if you'd like to add yours, please do so:
I managed to establish a DHCP connection. I configured IPV4 for DHCP and IPV6 for DHCP, and the connection worked. Unfortunately, the settings aren't saving correctly, and I have to reconfigure the connection after a reboot. Sometimes everything disappears from the network settings—sometimes just the access point settings, sometimes just the network card settings. This happens regardless of whether I check the "Start network on boot" checkbox or uncheck it.

In summary: When a connection is successfully established (both DHCP and manual), it works until the machine is restarted. The problem is related to incorrect network settings being saved.

To avoid just talking about problems, I'll write about what made me happy today. Recently, I had a major problem with my Pi-Top. After starting the computer, it wouldn't respond to the touchpad. Out of 10 starts, one was fine. Today's Nightly update solved the problem; out of 10 starts, I've had 10 successful starts. The Pi-Top's touchpad seems to be working properly.

I do have a problem with flash drives, though. None of them work.

Yes, it could be the same thing

For AROS Pi is there a guide for setting up a cross compiler for AROS on Raspberry Pi? I'd like to compile some software for my Pi.

On which system do you want to install the compiler?

In my experience, it’s a good idea to use AI assistance when setting up a cross-compilation environment. I had been getting really frustrated because the whole process feels a bit like trial and error, and I basically needed help at every other step. Having a helpful assistant ready in my browser made the process manageable, and I now have two toolchains—one for RPi and one for x86_64. If you also decide to install opencode, compiling for your chosen platform becomes straightforward as well.

The compiler is for Ubuntu 24.04

I will probably need to delete my sources for x86-64 ABIv11 and try again also. I messed it up. I'll install Raspberry Pi Build at the same time.
