No Static Settings In ICS

[margret]

I use this code on a half dozen devices to set static IP and settings. It works fine on all devices until the new one with ICS. The other devices are using Android 2.x. No errors are shown it just gets a dynamic IP and not the static information that I set. Is there a manifest entry for it to work with ICS? Any ideas?

This is using the JHWiFi library:

Thanks,

wf.Wifi_Static_IP = "192.168.2.20"
wf.Wifi_Static_Netmask = "255.255.255.0"
wf.Wifi_Static_Gateway  = "192.168.1.1"
wf.Wifi_Static_DNS1 = "63.68.212.33"
wf.Wifi_Static_DNS2 = "63.68.212.34"
wf.Wifi_Use_Static_IP = 1 '1 = static, 0 = dynamic
wf.Enabled = True

Can this be useful?

This seems to be what this library is doing. This is a Forked version of ICS and I need to find if it is an ICS issue or just on this Forked version. If anyone has an ICS device, could someone try this and see if it works for you?

Just got a report back after a friend tried it on stock ICS, same issue. Seems the issue is with ICS. Anyone have any ideas(code samples) on this?

I think, if I understood correctly the comments of this link, that the way android handles net data changed; In ICS, you have to set staticIP for each individual network, while in the 2.3 for e.g. that I usually deal with, setting staticIP is independent of the chosen network. I know nothing about the JhWiFi library but it can be that it didn't follow ICS new way of handling things? Just a thought.

I was thinking this as well. I also posted some information in the Library forum for JHWiFi to see if he will know what it may need to work. Thanks for your help!

Seems a bit confusing, cause things that work with 3.0 fail with 4.0 and so on. But surely it can work with proper handling
