Anyone know how to get wifi driver pre-loaded?

It's been reported that in order for several 3rd party apps to be able to switch on/off wi-fi, the wifi driver needs to be "pre-loaded". In other words, this must either be at startup, or preloaded by turning on wifi the normal way in the comm manager at least once for each soft reset.
Wizard users report that a reg hack preloads the wifi driver at startup with the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms and the d-word "HTCpreloadwifi" set to 1. However, when I do this on my Prophet, wifi does not work at all unless it is set to 0, and therefore, the wifi driver is not preloaded.
Any other ideas?

NDIS IM Drivers, WM5/6, and WLANs, TyTn

If this is posted to the wrong place please forgive, I am working on an NDIS intermediate miniport driver on WM5/6. Our driver works on all CE platforms ( and all other windows platforms ) and installs and works on WM5 and 6 *EXCEPT* form some strange behavior around WLAN connections.
When we are installed w/ a WLAN, when the machine powers up, or soft boots, or suspend/resumes, the default SSID attempts to connect. Instead of auto-connecting, the 'tower icon' never connects, instead eventually a second 'tower icon' comes up and I get two 'tower' icons connecting. Neither ever connect.
If I manually go into 'network cards' and press 'connect', the SSID will connect and authenticate, and the network works, and the IM works and sees all traffic.
Micro$hit refuses to support anything, and HTC is no better.
If you guys are smart enough the reverse engineer the entire OS, does anyone have any idea what is going on here? Any ideas would be great.
What about an alternative comm manager that would work around this? I wrote a wzc application to try and duplicate the behavior when I manually press connect in comm manager, but it just seems to replicate the 'auto connect' behavior w/ two 'tower icons'
Does anyone know what is happening?
Does anyone have an application that can work around this?
Can anyone write an application for $$$$ to work around this?
Help me please

How works Your application which duplicate comm manager behavior?
Did You try functions in ossvcs.dll?

I did not write my own comm manager, this is the standard comm manager, I am relying on the default WM6 one.
I wrote an app using the WZC calls based on WZCTOOL in the CE6 sdk, and when I put the key, and enc type in it will successfully connect to the access point. With my IM installed, however, this WZC app will re-produce the problem described before exactly. Somehow the default windows comm manager can still successfully connect manually... how does it do this, what calls does it use, I need to know how. Can anyone write this? The code in wzctool will not do it ( I don't think, possibly I have bone stuck in my head ).
I don't know ossvcs, please elaborate on how/what functions I might be interested in.
As an aside, does anyone want to try our shim on one of your custom kernels. I am necessarily running on a standard WM6 kernel, if someone would test and see if this problem exists on custom kernels that would be swell. I cannot modify the kernel on this one and only device I have.

Here is the good description for functions in osvcss.dll
http://www.teksoftco.com/articles/article 007/radiodevices.htm
HTH

I tried out the ossvcs sample application, and it caused the same behavior I see with the WZC stuff or when trying to 'auto connect' after a reset. That is, the access point never connects. Manually I can still connect by going into comm mgr, editing the access point, pressing cancel, then connect, and instant connection. What api call is this app using at that point?

It's verry strange behavior.
One tip from other side - did You try call SetDevicePower fo Wifi Driver and intermediate driver?

no special handling
I will look into SetDevicePoPower, but I think NDIS should be handling power events... Any further info on SetDevicePoPower or anything else would be great.
Oh yeah, in case I didn't say so before, you guys *ROCK*! Keep up the good work, and if I ever solve this problem I will be sure to 'let on'.
Does anyone out there in the wide world have an Ndis Intermeidate Miniport driver akin to PASSTHRU working for 802.11xxx on a TyTn ( WM5 or 6 )?

Yes NDIS handling power events, but by using api setdevicepower You can explicitly on/off wifi connection
Please try to write small apllication which turn wifi on and off.
CEDEVICE_POWER_STATECEDEVICE_POWER_STATE devState = D4; //Full power - constant D0 represents NO power state (OFF)
DevicePowerNotify("<WifiAdapeterName> (qualified - example {8DD679CE-8AB4-43c8-A14A-EA4963FAA715}\xxx1:", devState, POWER_NAME);
SetDevicePower("<WifiAdapeterName> (qualified - example {8DD679CE-8AB4-43c8-A14A-EA4963FAA715}\xxx1:", POWER_NAME, devState);
But Maybe You have still problem if wifi driver is not loaded until comm mgr button is pressed...
.

WiFiFoFum
I just tried the WiFiFoFum application that allows one to power on and off the devices. Is this using the same API? WiFiFoFum did not work, I tried powering on and off my device and the real device in different orders, and it does not work.
I will try you API now...

not smart enough
I don't know enough to understand your example. Where do I get the correct GUIDs from? I assume the xxx1, is the device name instantiation.
What about 'devName' and POWER_NAME. Sorry, bone still stuck in head, ughh.

Guid is typically found on this place
\\\registry\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend\
Value is
{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\
Device name can be found on registry key HKLM/COMM.
Also device name is displayed in wififoforum.
POWER_NAME is constant - see MSDN.

wifi

Is anyone else having problems with a sx-66 and wifi. I have upgraded to all three roms, tried radio rom 1.15 and 1.13 and still no luck. I can see the network and it attempts to connect and then drops. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and I am using wep. I have other PPC's wm5 and wm6 and they all connect no problems. It worked with the 2003se on it. Any ideas would be appreciated. I currently have the xplode rom (fixed version).
greg

I also have a sx66 and i used to have the same problems on different roms. But ever since helmis wm6 rom i have gotten it to work. I am currently using pdaviets rom.
It could just be the rom compatibility.
Im not sure if this is useful but try turning on Wlan first. Then afterwards turn on wifi.

I tried Helmi's rom with no luck, but I think I will reflash it and try again. If I don't follow the procedure that you suggested it will not work at all (wifi won't turn on).
Thanks for the suggestions... I will see if going back to Helmi's works.
greg

hi...
actually i have a helmi's rom.
i had the same problem, but i had discovered that you should turn on the bluetooth first, then turn on the wifi.
be sure you have all programs closed, and if you still haven't do it, softreset the device and try again

wlan manager first after SR
I use Helmi's WM6 rom. Issue was there in WM5 rom too, mostly after soft reset.
Workaround:
after a soft reset I first connect WiFi via WLAN manager (it tries to connect but doesn't). Then I use the COM Manager (I installed the HTC Touch 2.0 from xplode, but previous/other version also OK) and I connect without problem.
Use workaround anytime when WiFi seems non responsive.
Cheers

Ok i will explain something about wifi problems
Our drivers have a lil bugs in wm5-6
Wifi startup procedure in WM6:
1.Turn on the wifi from wireless manager (start=>settings=>connections=>wireless lan)
2.It will turn on and automatically turn off (this is afrer soft reset and you must do it after every soft reset if you want to use wifi on/off trough comm manager. it will stay on only after first usage in a fresh rom)
3.Turn on the wifi trough comm manager
4.It will detect your network(try to connect to it so the newtwork settings to be applyed - encryption, channel, ssid and password) but it will not connect to it
4. turn off wifi and then turn it back on (this time it will detect your network and it will connect)
this procedure works for me every time
i use linksys wrt54gc router with WPA TKIP encryption, tryed this on other routers and AP's also and it work flawlessly

For me, the following 2 steps always work:
1) Turn on 'Wi-Fi' from CommMgr
2) Once inside CommMgr, click (settings;Wireless LAN) and select 'Turn on WLAN'
With these 2 steps, my Wifi ALWAYS turn on (even after soft reset).
Sometimes, step1 by itself turns it on.
I programmed CommMgr to be the bottom-right icon for (Contacts) on screen.
My bottom-left button is programmed for Tomtom6.

check out xplode's HTC WLAN Manager cab
I have just installed xplode's HTC WLAN Manager cab which solved all my WiFi issues. Have a look (and download the file) at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1668110#post1668110
Also post your findings, whether it worked for you etc.
(Is there a way to combine these 2 threads (admin?), they seem a duplication.)

I gave up on Helmi's ROM and thought I would try yours: I wonder if your method might work better on your ROM?? If it doesn't, I assume your solution might!
But I am having problems installing your ROM: I suspect my problem might be blindlingly obvious. Your installation utility sees the BA and correctly identifies my unit and the Helmi OS. I then try to upgrade and with nothing changing on the BA, the computer stops seeing the unit and fails every time with Error 101. Sometimes if I try again it fails with Error 150. Rebooting doesn't seem to help. When it fails, curiously the upgrade utility hangs on the screen and the upgrade panel (with no progress of course) stays transparent in the foreground. I am using Windows XP and the original radio ROM as i cant see how the Radio could affect how the computer sees the BA.
Or is the BA just a buggy unit and should I stick with my Wizard? (I kinda like the thinness and size of the screen on the BA and wonder if VoIP might work better on a 400 MHz unit than a 190 MHz one?). Or has anyone managed to get any of the Wizard WM6 ROMs working on the BA?

licensedtoquill if you want to trash your BA I will take it off your hands.
The Errors you are talking about are old ones, you need to read the Wiki, not what the software says on the screen, I think from memory it says something like, do a normal reset now... ignore that and put the device into Bootloader mode (USB or Serial) then run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe update again.
DO NOT FOLLOW STEP 1 at the following screen. DON'T DO IT!

Yes, I had noticed that one!

It's rather funny, isnt it? It is designed to send you round in circles while showing a completely different device so as to say "Told You So!" But I can't imagine any device which would take this instruction to stop upgrading and start all over again in the middle of the upgrade process???
I do seem to have completely cured my WiFi problems (perhaps slightly labouriosly) by following your instructions. But what is Xplode's .cab file for??? In any event, it doesn't install, preferring to give an 'unsuccessful' error message instead. I wonder if it is supposed to be in Xplode's ROM or if it will be incorporated into some ROM in the future?
What mystifies me is why the BA ROMs are so much smaller than the Wizard ones? That so much seemingly has to be left out of them, to be installed later with all the conflicts which seem to ensue when you do this.
In any event, I am not about to junk my BA as I do prefer it to the Wizard at the moment for the screen size alone. You really can press an icon with a finger if necessary where on the Wizard, you invariably get the wrong one pressed.

Hi,
Ive exactly the same problem as you. It keeps trying to connect but without any success. It shows Wi-Fi: Connecting and after that Wi-Fi: Available/Unavailable, but not Connected. Every time it fails, damn !

Activesync and PPC registry

I'va an Imate JasJar with WM6 by Jwrightcmps.
Recently, I tried to find an automatic way to change network settings to manage the connection with different company LAN and my home pc.I was unlucky with some solutions like WifiProfiles, since in most cases, i used the usb cable to connect to the work pc, so I had the bad idea to modify some registry keys related to RNDIS interface.Since this moment I've lost the possibility to correcly connect with a host pc through the USB cable.The symptoms are the following:
- whenever I try to connect the device for the first time, it is correctly recongnized with its host name, but after 20-30 second Activesync (v. 4.5) changes the connected device name to "Guest" ad i loose all network functionality (except the possibility to explore the device)
- if i disconnect the device and reconnect it, it is no longer recognised (as if it is not phisically connected)
- if i try to change "enable advance network functionality" check (on or off), the device starts to become very slow ant the wait circle remain on the screen until I soft reset.This happens, however, only if the device has been connected to a pc (no matter if it is subsequently disconnected)
Obviously the problem is not related with host pc (i tried on 5 different machines, with or without firewall and the behaviour is the same, while before changes it worked on all), beside it happened immediately after registry changes.
Unfortunately I made several changes and don't remember all of them.
You are my last chance before an Hard Reset. :°(
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Make a backup ever!
I don't know about what kind of reg.entries you have modified but why don't you try to
make a backup now,
export the full Reg then Hard Reset
compare old Reg. with new Reg. to find the differences
then you probably should find what kind of entry is giving you that problem and restore it to Default.
Good luck!

Frozen Shag control and lost WLAN in vista

Greetings every one
I have searched through the threads to try and find a solution to my problem and I have tried hard and soft restart on Snapvu, F2 and F3 but nothing works
I am having a little trouble with my Shift 9500 running Vista. All was well until about a week ago when I lost WLAN. When I attempted to turn on WLAN in the SHAG Control, SHAG control freezes and vista tells me that the "program is not responding". Sound is also muted.
I do, however, have a network symbol in the notification area that tells me it is not connected, when I ask vista to diagnose the problem it tells me to install a network card and the software. So, I reinstall the Marvell Wi-Fi driver, downloaded from the HTC website, but still no effect and the same thing keeps happening.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same problem now. Got original preinstalled Vista and even after Hard reset WLAN seems to be turned on in Control Center but the WLAN card is not even seen on hardware list. Got latest Marvell driver installed. It's rather not hardware problem as WLAN used to work before hard reset. Maybe it has to do with Microsoft hot fixes (have automatic updates enabled) but run without SP1. It's driving me crazy when trying to enable WLAN or Bluetooth it takes minutes like you. Any ideas plase? Thanks

Well just an update, I did hard Vista reset and it helped. got fully functional wlan device, but still don't know what caused that. basically i see preinstalled vista here is damn unstable and never seen so many blue screens before :/

I just posted a message earlier about issues I've been having with WiFi now resolved by changing advanced settings in the chip set. Maybe of some use? If you can't even see the Marvell maybe the only choice IS to do a hard restore, or maybe even trying the copying of the sdbus.sys from the XP page into system32/driver and trying again...that's probably what I would do.
I must admit, most of my issues with WiFI started when I updated to the new driver from HTC....downhill from there.

And note their instructions don't tell you in which order to install the WiFi driver - yet all the others are very specific. Maybe that's where it all goes horribly wrong? I did mine last for reference.

I'd suggest if everything works fine then no need to upgrade and take this risk... i simply ignored new htc drivers )

Hey Fooftr )
How are you? Managed to overwhelm this damn WLAN? I was happy too early. Even though my automatic MS updates were disabled after hard reset and I haven't even touched new htc drivers, my WLAN dissapeared again under Vista after some time.
Have installed latest Marvell sd8686.sys drivers from htc and the only result I got is 'Device manager' indicates WLAN card drivers where loaded but device cannot start (Code: 10). Did simple uninstall and even after reboot Vista finds no WLAN device at all. Did same with SD Host and here it's finem Vista finds it and reinstalls drivers. I'm still patient as really like this ****, I mean shift )
I've also replace sdbus.sys (81KB) file with mine laptop one 87KB but no difference.
The only networking actions I've been doing were related to installation of NDIS drivers together with the first WinMo sync. Maybe this is it? Don't know and wouldn't like to hard reset it again. Also XP is not an option until touchscreen and sdhc support is solved.
Guys any thoughts? Ideas? Does anyone have the same problem with vanishing WLAN device? Again it works after hard reset so it's not a hardware prob imo.
Cheers Shifters ;o)

Silence means either I'm alone with the problem or there are others but no solution found
I did some progress yesterday and GOT MY WLAN working fine now. I've been trying to play with HTC Marvell driver folders content as despite of WLAN setup file there are other toolkits attached by HTC. IT's not ideal and does enable WIFI fine but enables BT as well however BT device cannot find any other devices - later down below about BT.
PLS READ THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU TRY, it's just my observation and may be only my case.
If you guys have the same experience with WLAN device as I do please try to do following, it helped in my case and now have all WLAN and BT enabled and visible in Vista SP1 after sleep/restart, whatever.
1. My Vista config is as follows:
- SP1 installed (eng)
- all updates installed from Microsoft Update
- all HTC drivers installed except Vitakey which I hear on other threads is causing some headaches.
* although I have all above installed I don;t think it;s a prerequisite. You only need latest Marvell drivers from HTC website.
2. Pls note, although latest Marvell WLAN drivers are installed I used to see no devices.
3. I've described what is a behaviour when I install drivers, devices appear for a few seconds on the list and dissapear at the end of installation.
4. So I went to WLAN folder /Wifidrvpatch/TOOLKITS and found HTCMEDIA.INI file with number of commands.
5. At the end of the file you can find three commands related to ECTKit.exe and vcpj_TSinstall.exe
6. What I did yesterday what enabled my devices? Started to launch them to see what will happen.
I launched three application but I'm not sure which one helped, my devices started to apeparing on th list after ECTKit.exe with one of parameters added.
7. Launch Device Manager and expand Network adapters. Right click on desktop 'My computer' and choose 'Manage'. From the list then choose 'Device Manager'. IF you don't see NEtwork adapters on the list it's probably same as in my case. go to next step.
8. Click Start->Run->cmd
change your path (using 'cd' command) to be in marvellwifi/wifidrvpatch/toolkits/tool where ECTKit.exe is located.
Launch ECTKit.exe by typing ECTKit.exe /EnableAllDevice
after that my devices appeared on the list.
As I said I launched three execs this evening. First was vcpj_TSinstall.exe (then clicked on install) but haven't noticed any change, dvices were hidden and shift was not much busy with this exec. Second I launched ECTKit.exe /RestoreAllDevice (Still no devices on the list BUT I've noticed Computer Management tool (the one you've opened to see devices) has indicated under 'System Tools->'EVent Viewer' -> 'Windows Logs' -> 'Security' that one of sys files is not loaded due to hash issue. IT's called CCDEVIO.sys and used to fail EVERYTIME when I tried to install MArvell drivers before (have checked logs history).
As the third command launched was ECTKit.exe /EnableAllDevice and this one helped.
What I suspect in my case CCDEVIO.sys may be causing problems but not sure. For example this sys file is trying to be loaded when I open WindowsMediaPlayer and fails as well so I'm not sure. Anyway that's the only misbehaviour I've noticed related to drivers installation.
Now about BT. It's also enabled. Got access to all functions, etc but there are two problems with BT.
1. My shift cannot find any other BT devices but can be found by my HTC Kaiser with no problems (still with limited number of services shared).
2. BT blue LED under the display flashes all the time now ) Well even if I disable BT Radio device and other BT related it does still blinks ) Well I don;t care anyway at least got it visible and can play further to force it to work. It';s still better than not having it at all.
LAst but not least this trick has not helped to frozen Shift Control Center tool. It freezes if I want to Turn ON/OFF WIFI/BT for coupel of minutes, then indicated device is ON or OFF, I can close it but it does not communicate with devices at all - meaning if I turn my WLAN ON thru control center it's not turning ON. Need to go to Network Adapters window under NEtwork Sharing Center and simply enable it. It's till fine as shagctrl sucks anyway, no brightness can be adjusted and when I try to access Settings, after 10-20 seconds got message 'Get EC firmware version failed' and settings opens (this error was observed even after my Vist agot hard reset some time ago and even after I installed latest EC drivers from HTC site)...
I'm not sure how HTC tests their drivers in testing environment but they probably outsource it to well known business oriented countries )
Sorry for long story but maybe it will help some of you. I'm damn happy got my WIFI working as do not need BT for now

Hello,
I have a similar issue withe Marvell Wifi adapter.
I restored the system to the manufacturer settings pressing F3 while booting and the problem remains:
If the Shift is powered off or hybernated more than 30 minutes and then powered on, then Wifi works well, the adapter appears in the device manager, and I can power it on or off with HTC comunication administrator (the progran which opens when you push the upper right button).
If, whith Wifi working, I suspend, reboot or power off the shift for less than 30 minutes, the Marvel wifi adaptor dissapears from the device manager, Wifi doesn't work and I can't enable or disable it from the HTC comunication administrator.
I have restored the system to manufacturer settings pressing the F3 button while booting for three times without success.
Anybody knows how to fix that problem or may I send the unit to the SAT?
Thank you very much

Hey, seems it's very unstable. Can you imagine I was to early happy with my findings :/ My WIFI appears and dissapears randomly but the behaviour is a bit different from yours. Mine is available even right after reboot (pess than 30 mins). What I do to solve it is when after turning on there is no device on the list I simply launch drivers installation and do not wait till the end. When I see BT/WIFI devices in Computer Management successfully identified (installation still runs) I simply kill the installer thru "Task Manager" without waiting for completion (as every time after completion devices again dissapear). With that I have a control over WIFI. It's a bit annoying but I can rely on that everytime so far.
Keep observing my shift behaviour what potentialy can impact that and even with WinMo synced and 3G working on WinMo side WIFI is still available. Last time it dissapeared after battery removal for 5 minutes max (to insert new SIM card).
BTW, once you have your BT available can you find external devices using BT built-in software? I cannot...
Even with that I damn like the SHIFT and find it very useful.
Will stay in touch
