[[PageOutline]] = Welcome to the development home of Wireless LAN Monitor (XWLAN/WLAN) = XWLAN/WLAN enables you to switch your OS/2 - eComStation system between wired and wireless network. The Wireless LAN Monitor is available both as a XCenter Widget as well as a standalone program. The project home page is [http://wlan.netlabs.org/en/site/index.xml] From here you can report bugs and view your tickets. This page needs some polishing. So if you want to contribute feel free to contact the project maintainers. == Binaries == 20131107 v3.12 beta version available Search ftp netlabs incoming directory [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/wlan/xwlan312beta.zip] - Fixed empty connection list box when too many connections are available - Fixed crash when profile data are damaged - Fixed screwing up interfaces (lan9, lan8, lan7...) - Fixed crash when routes are copied from wired to wireless interface or vice versa - Fixed switching between wired and wireless interface. Should work reliable now - Uses ISC dhclient instead dhcpd. Install with 'yum install dhclient'. dhclient.exe must be somewhere in PATH. - Tested with wpa supplicant v2.0 from Paul Smedleys package [http://os2ports.smedley.id.au/index.php?page=wpa-supplicant] As usual with xwlan wpa_supplicant.exe must reside in same directory as .dim modules. This is either directory of wlanstat.exe or in case of using the widget x:\XWorkplace\plugins\xcenter\xwlan\ - dhclient.exe and wpa_supplicant.exe are checked and versions are displayed in properties dialog For older versions see [http://wlan.netlabs.org/en/site/index.xml] == Feedback and Support == If you find bugs, please create a [http://svn.netlabs.org/xwlan/newticket New Ticket].

Xwlan is the standard tool for almost all eCS notebook users for switching between wireless and wired network profiles. Since years xwlan works very well. But now it needs some minor updates and bug fixes. For this we transferred the cvs source code into svn and set up this ticket system. Beside developing the source code Christian made a marvelous good job in documentation and making presentations at various Warpstock events. Follow the links at [http://wlan.netlabs.org/en/site/index.xml] In January 2013 Andreas Buchinger began to contribute. First step was pushing Adrian to set up the svn and creating this page. == Building xwlan == * check out complete source tree from svn (trunk) * follow the included documentation From build.txt {{{ - Does not build with rc.exe v5.xx. Use rc v4.00.011 instead. - Does not build with DEBUG=1 and PMPRINTF=1 set together - nmake does not always honor SET COMPILER365=1 set by vac3.65 setenv.cmd so there's a hack for that at the beginning of rules.in. Seems to be some environment variable memory overflow. Maybe only on my machine. - When using vac3.65 the 'Workplace Shell Toolkit' has to be compiled with vac3.65 too of course. Version of used tools --------------------- nmake.exe Operating System/2 Program Maintenance Utility Version 4.00.001 Oct 4 2001 ilink.exe IBM(R) Linker for OS/2(R), Version 5.0 rc.exe Operating System/2 Resource Compiler Version 4.00.011 Oct 10 2000 icc.exe IBM* C and C++ Compilers for OS/2*, AIX* and for Windows NT**, Version 3.6 }}} == Screenshots == Feel free to contribute ;-) = Credits = * Christian Langanke * Adrian Gschwend (running netlabs.org) * Steven Levine * Andreas Buchinger If we forgot anyone, please let us know.
