Hi guys,


Wifi was more or less functionnal with Alpha2 but since I updated with Alpha3 it's not working at all, the wifi process is forceclosing everytime I try to access it.


Does someone else have the same issue ?

So, have you tried removing previous wifi settings?

adb shell rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot

Or opening Terminal App

su
rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot

My wifi was working without problems in a1 and 2.1 after (proper) a3 upgrade I had
No Connection message in gmail and Market and I couldn't get rid of it ( browser connection was fine)
Ended up with whipping user data and now it works OK

Dalingrin stated those with wifi issues after alpha 3 update must reset wifi with this method.

got a small problem applying your method,

when I write -rf /data/misc/wifi it says : "-rf not found"

Also, after doing some investigating and experimenting of my own, I am fairly convinced that wireless n and cm7 for tp do not play nicely at all with each other.

You might want to try these steps if the wifi reset does not work out for you (I was having serious wifi issues until I did this and it's been almost 3 weeks for me with zero wifi problems):

1. Go to settings>applications>development and change your host name to something short, e.g. AndroidTP
2. Log into your router settings and change the channel to 5 or below
3. Lastly, disable wireless n detection from your router and enable b & g only.

Reboot and set up your wireless and hopefully you will start abusing bandwidth like me :)

Which method are you trying? Adb or terminal app?

You need rm before -rf as stated
