<p>Rozchodenie bezdrôtovej siete je nevyhnutné v dnešnej dobe neustáleho sieťového pripojenia. Pretože udržiavanie aktuálnej podpory rozličného a neustále sa meniaceho hardvéru a ovládačov je pre malý projekt celkom nemožné, Haiku sa pri implementácii sieťových ovládačov spolieha na vrstvu kompatibility <ahref="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a>.<br/>
Tá nám zabezpečuje obrovské množstvo podporovaného hardvéru, hoci zrejme nie 100% všetkých, ktoré existujú. Pozrite si online <ahref="https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/wireless#hardware-notes">zoznam podporovaných modelov</a> alebo sa pozrite do <ahref="http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.3R/hardware.html#WLAN">Poznámok o hardvéri FreeBSD 9.3</a>.</p>
<p>Hoci sme prvú prekážku všeobecne podporovaného hardvéru prekonali, niektoré bezdrôtové ovládače vyžadujú binárne moduly firmvéru, aby správne fungovali. Haiku nemôže distribuovať niektoré z týchto proprietárnych súborov firmvéru z licenčných dôvodov. Haiku však obsahuje jednoduchý skript, ktorý stiahne a nainštaluje všetky proprietárne súbory za vás. Vo všeobecnosti, ak plánujete používať bezdrôtovú sieť, odporúča sa spustiť tento skript, aby ste zabezpečili, že váš systém má všetok tento firmvér k dispozícii, keď ho budete potrebovať.</p>
<p>Ak nemáte prístup k internetu, aby ste mohli stiahnuť tieto súbory s firmvérom v Haiku, existuje aj offline spôsob, pozri <ahref="#tips">tipy</a> below.</p>
<p>By default, Haiku will join the first unencrypted wireless network it finds after booting up. To connect to a specific network, you use the Desktop applet <ahref="desktop-applets/networkstatus.html">NetworkStatus</a>.</p>
<p>Right-click on its icon in the Deskbar and choose the network's public name (which is the "SSID" it broadcasts) from the context menu.</p>
<p>A window opens where you enter the type of authentication (probably WPA/WPA2, WEP is not a secure encryption anymore!) and the password for that wireless network. Click <spanclass="button">OK</span> to start the login process.<br/> Depending on your hardware and network configuration this may take a while. You'll be kept informed of the progress by notifications:</p>
<p>Once it reads "Ready" and the NetworkStatus icon in the Deskbar shows a green round light, the connection is established. If the notifications end in "No link" and a yellow triangle, something went wrong, probably an incorrect password.</p>
<p>If you prefer to use the command line or would like to use scripting or the <spanclass="path">~/config/settings/boot/UserBootscript</span> to automate things to join a specific network on bootup, there's the command <tt>ifconfig</tt>.</p>
<p>Make sure the initial configuration of the wireless network adapter after booting up has finished, before issuing <tt>ifconfig</tt> commands or they might be ignored. Depending on your hardware and network configuration that may take a while. Watch those notifications...</p>
<p>If you cannot obtain the binary firmware files via the <tt>install-wifi-firmwares.sh</tt> script (for example due to lack of internet connection within Haiku), you can also download <ahref="http://www.haiku-os.org/files/download-data-for-wlan-firmwares.txt">this shell script</a>, and run it from another OS that has <tt>wget</tt> and <tt>zip</tt> installed.<br/>
Windows users need to have <ahref="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm">wget</a> and <ahref="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zip.htm">zip</a> for Windows installed in their default locations and use <ahref="https://www.haiku-os.org/files/download-data-for-wlan-firmwares.bat">this batch script</a>.<br/>
The script will download the needed files and create a zip file that is to be extracted to Haiku's <tt>/boot</tt>. Once unpacked, open a Terminal and type:</p>
<p>Haiku's drivers for some WLAN chipsets like the iprowifi4965 are prone to lose connection when using WPA encryption. If you're affected by that, try to disable the "HT mode" (high throughput, 802.11n) before connecting to a network:</p>
<p>If that fixes the problem, put the line into <spanclass="path">~/config/settings/boot/UserBootscript</span> to have it applied automatically every boot-up.</p>
