segfault

wmwifi on my laptop won't start. It always segfaults. I read FAQ carefully. Here is my results.
$ head -10 /usr/include/linux/wireless.h | grep Version

Is this because my wireless card eth1, not eth0? If so, I expect to have a new version soon.

What does "cat /proc/net/wireless" show?

Also, recompile wmwifi with wireless extensions v16, since your driver is using v16. To do this, just copy the wireless.h from /usr/src/linux/include/wireless.h tp /usr/include/linux

This is not beucase your card eth1, i run wmwifi and my wireless card is eth1.

Expect all you want guy, but this is free software. Im not getting paid, so try and be patient.

Nice app
posted by Shimron Trammell (anonymous) - 2004-04-22 14:24:18

Very nice, it actually matches my other dock apps. One thing though. I am running kernel 2.6.5 and I got the same segmentation fault error. I fixed it using your fix, but I had to copy wireless.h to usr/local/include.

0.4 fix
posted by Fredrik Lindroth (anonymous) - 2004-09-05 08:13:01

Do you have problems wit wmwifi saying "Err" and not displaying link quality?
Well, here is the fix :)
Open src/wireless.c.
Find the line that says "return ret;".
Above that line, insert "ret=100;", or whatever
matches the maximum link quality for your card.
Then recompile and install

Happy hacking :)

Changing backlight-color
posted by Thomas Verchow (anonymous) - 2005-04-19 17:29:47

Hi. Can anyone switch the color of the backlight? The -bl switch works, but -lc seems to be ignored :(

Any hints?

posted by Chris Whitehill (anonymous) - 2005-04-22 16:28:44

I am having the same problem with the backlight color. It appears to only change the light color in the background of the title text. I am having the same problem with wmthrottle.

Hey guys,
I'll work on making it possible to change the backlight color int the next version.

To be honest, I've already noticed this, and put a sticky note on my monitor to fix this.

Watch for a new version in a week or so. Sorry for the delay.

Hi @ll:
As the post-tittle says can`t compile wmwifi. It returns the next error:
