[SOLVED] Need Wifi Help when Porting Roms - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I used a CM7 as base for the Rom I'm porting.
The libs and bin are all for my Device and not from the ROM I'm porting. The Kernel is for my Device and not from the ROM I'm porting
Though Wifi is not showing networks? How is that possible? Please help!
Thanks!

WiFi modules in system/lib/modules corresponding to your kernel.

Yeah tried it in many ways you can't even imagine. I flipped to whole thing upside down LOL and still, Wifi not working...
Why is it most of the times this happens? Is it the Kernel?

Did you replace the wifi folder in /system/etc ?

you need replace wl folder too

the result of this build.prop line
wifi.interface=
equals the one inserted in the file on /system/etc/wifi/ ?
if in build.prop is something like
wifi.interface=eth0
and in wpa_supplicant.conf there is a line saying wlan0, wifi wont work

Have you tried checking logcat
It'ld describe the root of the issue, whether the service just fails to start or it's something else

Yeah but there is no wl folder. If there is, how would I replace it? There is no wl folder from my own Device in all the Roms for my Device. So I leave it or delete it?

if your device don't have wl folder then just leave it but your ported rom have this wl folder?

if your device don't use wl folder for wifi then it's useless for yoyr device just delete this folder

Figured it out after like, 5+ Months...
Since all the stuff is for my Device:
- etc folder
- usr folder
- wifi folder
- lib folder (All libs & Modules)
- bin folder
Everything is fine! But wifi still doesn't work!
So I investigate and it was the build.prop that was the culprit!
I need to have:
Code:
mobiledata.interfaces=pdp0,wlan0,gprs,ppp0
wifi.interface=wlan0
And everything that's below the additional properties:
Code:
# ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES
(For RIL and Incoming Calls)
I needed to paste the above from my Device's build.prop
to the Rom I'm porting's build.prop
Now Wifi is working fine and the Rom is Stable
