Script to Install Wireless on 6.2

[vMAC]

It's also possible you messed up the usb.map symlink. With a serial cable you could troubleshoot this easily, otherwise you'll have to pull the drive. The brute force method is just to erase the symlink and copy the usb.map file from /platform/etc/hotplug to /etc/hotplug. You could also to an ls -l in /etc/hotplug, and post the results here.
Ok just went out and bought the null adaptor for the weaknees cable (I'm really not liking weaknees righ now). Here is what was logged during bootup of my Tivo.

Does anyone see where the problem is with my WUSB54G adaptor?

Your lsmod looks just like mine, which is fine for a wired adapter. You're adapter uses the CNXTSPDriver.o driver, which does not appear to be loaded. Try entering the following command to load it: insmod CNXTSPDriver.o

[vMAC]

Tried that gave me:

bash-2.02# insmod CNXTSPDriver.o
insmod: CNXTSPDriver.o: No such file or directory

What directory is this file in? Or do I have to ftp this to the Tivo?

[vMAC]

Warning: loading CNXTSPDriver.o will taint the kernel: no license
See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modu

Module CNXTSPDriver loaded, with warnings

Moved to /lib/modules and ran that command and this is what i get. Sorry didn't know how to do that before been researching it online and found how to run insmod......But don't know what this error means when I run it. Also read some posts that said I should add that to rc.sysinit is that true?

After running that command still only the Power light is on, on the adaptor. Link light doesn't light.

[rbautch]

I'm out of ideas. I suggest a post on Jamies backported driver thread on DDB.

[vMAC]

Well thank you for all your help. I will do that.

[ruexp67]

Well, I have searched, I have read, I have studied and I have come up short.

I ran the Zipper on both of my HDVR2s. One is a wired connection that works like a charm. The other is a wireless connection as I have no drop in that room, although I can drag a cable in there down the hallway for wired connectivity.

The wireless has worked for me with WEP and this script. However, after about a week the wireless connection drops and I am left without a connection. Reboots do not bring it back. Re-running the wireless scripts (basically following the directions in the first post of this thread as if the system was fresh) didn't work for me either.

I am using a preset WEP key and the computer I am using to write this post is connected wirelessly now, so I know the router and WEP are correctly set. Also, it used to work on the Tivo, but not anymore.

My router is a Netgear WGT624. The wireless adapter on the tivo is a Linksys WUSB11 ver2.6

If I plug in a wired connection it comes up immediatly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Pete.

[ruexp67]

Sorry, I don't want to seem impatient, but I am at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[rbautch]

Connect the wired adapter, and run the /enhancements/net-stats.tcl script and post the results here. Also run lsmod to see which drivers are loaded.

The module for your adapter is called vnetusba.o, and it doesn't look like it's loading. Try loading it with insmod vnetusba.o

It loaded, but the wireless adapter did not initalize when I unplugged the wired, and plugged in the wireless. I rebooted (which of course caused the same situation with the vnetusba.o driver to not be loaded) and manually loaded it again over the wired connection. Still no dice.

I reran the net-launch.sh script and the setSSIDwep.tcl script.

The vnetusba.o module is showing as loaded after I reran the scripts.

However, still no dice. :(

Where do I instruct the tivo to load that module on boot? Is that in the author file?

Where do I instruct the tivo to load that module on boot? Is that in the author file?Yes, add the insmod command to the author file just as I showed it above. Also check your /etc/hotplug/usb.map file to make sure your adapter is listeed under the vnetusba heading.

[ruexp67]

The usb.map file does correctly list my adapter.

I reran the start.sh to re-zipper the tivo. And rebooted, the vnetusba.o module was not loaded.

I added the insmod command to the author file, but now it is recording something so I can't reboot. So I started the vnetusba.o module manually, and still no wireless connection.

This WAS working for about a week. Any idea what would have caused it to stop? I did reboot several times and the connection persisted. I did have a power issue, and that was the day the tivo dropped off the LAN.

[rbautch]

Not sure why it would drop off. If you have a serial cable, post the console output while booting, which might give more clues.

[ruexp67]

:( No serial cable.

[rbautch]

Another possibility is that you used the backported drivers which don't play well with wireless. You may want go back to stock 6.2 drivers.

[ruexp67]

How do I do that?

[dresdn]

I have a weird problem that I've been poking around with for past few weeks in my spare time, but I've reached an impasse that is completely stumping me. Basically, I tried to enable WEP via. the ./setSSIDwep.tcl, but wasn't able to get that working and saw some really odd behavior.

Being in this industry as long as I have, you learn to start with the basics and eliminate as much as possible and work from there. So what I have done for the time being is basically disabled all encryption/authentication on the wireless router, disabled MAC address filtering (yeah, I could technically leave this on, but whatever), and tried to "start fresh" on my Zipper'd TiVo by running the ./tweak-uninstall.sh and ./tweak.sh again.

What I'm seeing now is that when I reboot my TiVo, my USB Wireless light is off. If I unplug it and plug it back in, the link light actually goes green, but no IP address is set if I do an ifconfig. If I manually set the interface with ifconfig and create a default route, bam! I have internet on my TiVo.

I've tried running ./setSSIDwep.tcl and saying "N" to Enable WEP, tried DHCP and static, and also tried prefixing all this with ./un-setSSIDwep.tcl.

Here's what the current network settings are:

# ./net-status.tcl

The following IP parameters are now set in MFS:
IP address is currently set to: 192.168.0.21
Default gateway is currently set to: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask is currently set to: 255.255.255.0
DNS Server is currently set to: 4.2.2.2
DHCP is off
Wireless Parameters:
SSID is currently set to: {MY_SUPER_INSECURE_SSID}
WEP is disabled

Anyone have *any* ideas what is going on here? Basically, I would like to clear the entire MFS network settings and start over. I don't believe it's a USB driver issue (this used to work and I haven't touched the usb.map, which does exist).

Thanks in advance!

-DIf unplugging and replugging lights up the adapter, that usually means you are setting up ip params somwhere with ifconfig, which conflicts with the settings in mfs. Also confirm that your ssid is a one word name. You can clear the mfs IP settings with /enhancements/network-delete.tcl.

[Captain_reef]

this may seem a dumb question but when I telnet in and run sh net-launch.sh, I cannot get my curser to the end of the line to enter s or d.

What's the trick?

this may seem a dumb question but when I telnet in and run sh net-launch.sh, I cannot get my curser to the end of the line to enter s or d.

What's the trick?

Q: does the Tivo Wireless-G USB Network Adapter work with the hacked with Directv Tivo w/ wireless hack & Zipper? Or is there an updated have with more wireless newtwork adapters hack?

[rbautch]

Q: does the Tivo Wireless-G USB Network Adapter work with the hacked with Directv Tivo w/ wireless hack & Zipper? Or is there an updated have with more wireless newtwork adapters hack?The G adapter only works with 6.3 softare on hi-def tivos.

[Captain_reef]

Attached are a few scripts that will easily set up wireless parameters including WEP on any 6.2/6.3 installation. Here's how to use them:

1. Unzip, then FTP or Zmodem the four files anywhere on your Tivo.
2. Connect with wired adapter or serial cable.
3. Run net-launch.sh. (sh net-launch.sh)
4. Run setSSIDwep.tcl (tivosh setSSIDwep.tcl)
5. Unplug wired adapter, plug in wireless adapter.
6. Reboot

After this, you can freely swap your wired and wireless adapter without changing any settings. Note that this script only supports single name SSIDs. If you don't like using the predetermined wep keys, you can run setSSIDwep2.tcl (available on DDB), which wlll allow you to enter any key.

If you used the Zipper to hack your tivo, you don't need to follow these instructions, since the Zipper sets up wireless for you. If you want to set a wep key, navigate to /enhancements and type tivosh setSSIDwep.tcl.
I have tried this a dozen times and have the same problem. I use either Hyperterm in windows or Putty to telnet in.
When I run sh net-launch.sh the first prompt is "do you want static or DHCP enter s/d
My problem is the curser is at the BEGINNING of the line and no matter what I enter, it causes the script to abort.

What telent client should I use or what is the command to move the curser to the end of the line to accept the input.

Try using tera term pro, which has the correct terminal settings set by default. It's also free.

[Captain_reef]

I used the terminal you recommeded. Same results. I believe this script is faulty.
Here is output in Tera term pro:
bash-2.02# sh net-launch.sh
in /etc/fstab or /var/mtab
so you want set a static IP address or use DHCP? Enter s or d here:
': not a valid identifiertic
net-launch.sh: line 22: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
'et-launch.sh: line 22: `elif [ "$static" = "d" ]; then
bash-2.02#

note the word "do" at the beginning is now "so" because the cursur stays at the left.

Still in the dark as to how to do this.

[rbautch]

I used the terminal you recommeded. Same results. I believe this script is faulty. Give me a break. :rolleyes: It's probably just a fluke that it works for everyone else.

First, thanks for all the new tools and enhancements!

I have 3 Tivo's all upgraded to 6.2 some time ago and all were working fine (MRV, FTP, Telenet, etc.) after upgrades. Just for reference 2 of them are wired and 1 is wireless. I rarely transfer anything to or from the wireless Tivo, but I tried the other day and I could not see the other 2 Tivo's. On the other 2 Tivo's I can see the wireless 1. When I try to transfer from the wireless on either of the other 2 it appears to work for a minute, but then it reports that the Tivo is not networked and such. This happen once before some time ago and I got working, unfortuately I didn't write down what I did.

I have all 3 of them getting IP addresses from a router using DHCP/NAT. I've set the router to always assign the same IP based on the MAC. Everything seems fine on the network side.

I saw your enhancements and though some of them might help (like expired certs) so I did the enhancement upgrade to 2 of them (1 wired and 1 wireless). It went well and everything seems to work except I still have the same networking problem (FTP & Telenet works, but MRV doesn't work on the wireless only).

I tried a couple of things , but can't find anything wrong. Can you give me idea of how I should troubleshoot. Thanks!

I was trying to resove the problem above and I lost connectivity to one of the wired Tivo's. It happened when I went in to the Net Config module and put my DNS IP in (192.168.0.1). Based on what I saw in the web address I might have put the number in wrong. Not sure, but after boot no more network access. I can get in serially, but not sure what to look for.

Any help with these two problems would be greatly appreciated.

Any help with these two problems would be greatly appreciated.Try resetting all your network params in MFS by running the /enhancements/net-launch.sh script. Do this over your serial connection for the one you lost access on. If still no luck with MRV, try rerunning superpatch on that tivo.

[MLabJr]

I ran ./net-launch.sh on both Tivo's and thought I was home free (MRV worked and networking restored). I rebooted both boxes just to be clean and the wireless one didn't come back on the network.

I noticed my wireless dongle light was not on so I tried another reboot. The light went on and off during the reboot, but never stayed on. I tried running net-launch again (serial) with the same results. Did my WEP setting get reset? If yes, can I restore original settings?

Also is the default DNS setting suppose to be 4.2.2.2 (set on both)? Should I change to 198.168.0.1?

Really appreciate you time and help!

I ran setSSIDwep and there was information there (SSID was right). Couldn't tell if the WEP key was right because I assume it is recoded (there were numbers that I assume correspond to the actual key). I checked numbers against other Tivo and they matched. I didn't change anything and it aborted out. Author is clear.

I got it running, by first removing WEP (that worked) and then redoing the WEP key (64). I just want to know if 128 WEP is supported? I tried the setSSIDwep2.tcl, but it appeared to only support 64.

It supports 128, but you have to get that version of the wep binary a few posts down.

I think I have them, but do they need to be in the same directory as setSSIDwep2.tcl to work? I noticed after I set up everything on 64 bit that I didn't get in same directory. If that's not the problem can you explain how to use binaries?

I tried like you described before I read this and intially I was confused because it was coming up and asking for my 10 digit wep key (doesn't mention 26) and I would put in 10 digits. I finally descided maybe I should just try 26 and it worked.

Great job and I really appreciate the help!

Ok,

I have zippered drive with afresh 6.2 image from PTV.

I install the script from the firtst post.

didn't bother with setting up WEP.

i unplugged my trusty FA 120 and plugged in Linksys WUSB11 v 2.6

every thing was hunky dory. I was able to do more installs no problemo. Installed MFS*** (you know the one) wirelessly.

then I remembered the reboot instructions. I reboot. then I can't get link light to come on my wireless adapter.

I reran sh net-lauch.sh. Still no dice.

what gives???

HawkCheck if your author file is resetting your network parameters when you reboot. Do your network settings change when you reboot? Also type lsmod to see if the atmel503a driver is loaded. Also confirm that you DO NOT have Jamie's backported drivers installed. If you do, uninstall them and run stock drivers.

some of it went over my head. I'm a noob still trying to figure way around linux.

I'm not sure if which network parameters you refer to.

I'm able to connect with my wired router using the same IP address.

[rbautch]

First confirm that you have the appropriate driver - its called /lib/modules/vnetusba.o.

Then try loading the driver by adding this line to your author file:insmod /lib/modules/vnetusba.o

You can tell if you have backported drivers by checking the dates on all the files in /lib/modules. See if usbnet.o and usbcore.o match the rest of the modules. If not, you can uninstall them by running the /enhancements/tweak_uninstall.sh script. You can run tweak.sh again, but remember to answer no when it asks you if you want to install usb 2.0 drivers.

If none of this works, get a serial cable and capture the console output as your tivo is booting.


edit: The driver is actually called vnetusba not atmel503a as I indicated in my previous post.

[hawkeye1991]

Thanks rbautch

First confirm that you have the appropriate driver - its called /lib/modules/vnetusba.o.

Yup, its there in the modules

Then try loading the driver by adding this line to your author file:insmod /lib/modules/vnetusba.o

will try that now

you can tell if you have backported drivers by checking the dates on all the files in /lib/modules. See if usbnet.o and usbcore.o match the rest of the modules. If not, you can uninstall them by running the /enhancements/tweak_uninstall.sh script. You can run tweak.sh again, but remember to answer no when it asks you if you want to install usb 2.0 drivers.

I checked the dates with ls -l command. usbnet.o and usbcore.o have different dates than the rest of the files. dec 28 vs feb 24. couple of other files have dec 28. Most of the are feb 24.

When I uninstall and reinstall tweak, it doesn't ask about reinstalling usb 2.0 drivers. It says

"skipping backport driver installation, settings found in MFS"

or something to that effect.

this is what I found in the author file. see if this makes a difference

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=./:.:/utils:/bin:/sbin:/tvbin:/tivobin:/busybox:/enhancements

Ok

this is what I had to do

I deleted the busybox, enhancements and couple of directories by pulling the drive and mounting it on the PC.

Rezippered it

Reran the tweak

reran the wireless script

unplugged the wired and plugged in the wireless.

Every thing seems to be working. a little afraid to reboot!

Hawk

[hawkeye1991]

I rebooted. now my wireless connection is dead. no link light.

<<<SIGHHHHH>>>>>

unfricking beliveable.

b4 reboot, I ftp over MFS_ftp and install it

run it, but can't connect. even though I have network via wireless.

I reboot, see no connection with wireless, so I plug in wired and

voila, I have network access with same Ip address and I run MFS_FTP server and able to access the files with smartftp.

Now i need to sit and trouble shoot to figure out what the heck is going on with the reboot which destroys my wireless connection.

Ok -- I've been scanning this thread trying to figure out if I should brave the wireless route. I have had a zippered drive working flawlessly for about 6 months but now I need to move my unit beyond tethered range.

First question -- does it matter what USB wireless card I buy?

Second question -- I have an original zipper install (not Zipper 2) -- should I rezipper or can I just run the setSSIDwep.tcl script and go for it?

Third question -- I have WEP installed, should I disable it to get things going at first or is the WEP feature stable enough to try first time?

Sorry if these Q's are rehasing old ground, but the thread is enormous so I could have easily missed it.

Since this is an old thread, I thought I would ask if anything new applies to me. I have HR10-250, 6.3b, TivoWebPlus 1.31, PTVnet, Slicer, working fine with wired. Want to install wireless so first ran netconfig from TivoWebPlus. Set my router t work without encryption. The wireless interface I am using is D-Link DWL G122, which I found on the list of adapters that work. (wth 6.2)
When I plug it in, reboot, it does not get recognized, no LEDs on. When I put the wired one on, it works fine.

Any solution to this problem? Help appreciated.

Seems the drivers are missing. If I get linux driver for this, where does it go?
