Support Frisbee, dhcpcd dropwait

February 08, 2013 — BarryK
Rerwin posted a PET 'woof_updates_precise-20130117' with fixes to support inclusion of Jemimah's Frisbee, and the dropwait feature of dhcpcd, see Forum post:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82092&start=300

I have put these updated files into Woof:
/usr/local/apps/Connect/AppRun
/usr/local/simple_network_setup/rc.network, sns
/usr/sbin/connectwizard, connectwizard_2nd


And added a new script:
/usr/sbin/dhcpcd_dropwait_option

Frisbee

Needs to come with an health warning. Although some folks like it, I rarely had any joy with it and it's certainly counter-intuitive in a way likely to scare off incomers. Supposed to aid connection with wifi kit. Easier to change the wifi key! Best as an adjunct rather than a default.

"The output if some ifconfig/iwgetid/iwlist versions contains redirect symbols (<, >) that mess up gtkdialog formatting in ipinfo. The patch [url=http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=685011#685011]here[/url] remedies the problem (Only indirectly related to the post but close enough I hope.)
