The latest version did show up. So after upgrading I can now see the applet. I don't know why it wouldn't on the older version.

Ok :/

It should automatically ask for the path, if the drivers are not found in the previous location, but you can use gconftool-2 to manually update the path:

Code:

gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/wlan_driver_selector/driver_folder /path/to/drivers/

after a reboot, applet disappears. after reinstalling (applet only), applet shows on taskbar until next reboot; after a reinstall, the applet crashes/won't load bleeding edge drivers; keeps stock drivers loaded.

i have not yet tried re-downloading the files while reinstalling applet.

edit: using latest vs 0.1.1-1

Did som more testing and the app is gone again.

Ok. I'll do some testing tomorrow.

EDIT: I have tried tens of times to enable and disable the drivers, kill the hildon-status-menu and reboot my phone without crashes or entrys in debug logs :|

Could some try to add this:

Code:

#Debug
###########################################################################################
import sys
f=open('/tmp/driver-selector.log', 'at', buffering=1)
sys.stdout=f
sys.stderr=f

on top of:

Code:

#Librarys
###########################################################################################
import gtk, hildon, os, dbus, gconf, commands, pango
from hildondesktop import StatusMenuItem

in this file:

Code:

/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/status-area-wlan-driver-selector-applet.py

And then kill the hildon-status-menu or reboot. When the applet disappears copy the the contents of /tmp/driver-selector.log here.

I can do this but don't get it how. Should I copy what you posted? In what sequence?

I have the same problem with the applet, so I added the debug lines to the script and rebooted my phone.
After the second reboot the applet was not in the menu, I attached the logfile, I hope it helps.
