AZBOX HD - Possíble Wifi Solution

[black_dragon]

Guys, maybe I found a solution for wifi (and other stuff) for Azbox HD.

I begun searching why wifi did not work. After some researching I've found out that wpa_supplicant was not able to daemonize but it was able to run wpa_supplicant without daemon (the -B option).
After few days I found a workarround: in /etc/network/ the box generates the interfaces file with wifi options like this:

pre-up wpa_supplicant -iwlan1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.wlan1.conf -B -dd -Dwext || true

I just change it to

pre-up wpa_supplicant -iwlan1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.wlan1.conf -dd -Dwext &

to run in background.

It works if you do some more changes and do not change anything in Network menu.

Then I tried to run the DLNA Browser and it didn't work too. When I run manually it gives me the same error of wpa_supplicant: No such device. Searching for specific error of djmount (failed to daemonize: No such device) I've found out the following command:

rm /dev/null ; mknod /dev/null c 1 3

Then I try to run djmount again and it works perfectly. I unmade all the changes on files and swap my wifi cards and it works too.
I've rebooted the device and the solution seems to be permanent.
AFAIK the comand rebuild a null device but I'm just a begginer on linux.

You can try this and tell the result.
I just spend a lot of time on this image because this is the fastest E2 image by far for my both Azbox Premium HD.

You have to Do that After every Start or just One time

It seems to be permanent. Just to clarify, this applies in case the wifi is detected but cannot connect on SSID.

And so anyother tool that is affected by this problem with daemons.

Thanks a lot mate.
