872510 - [B2G][Hamachi] Cannot switch wifi on using settings on Hamachi device

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 869246

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[Zac C (:zac)]

Using
window.navigator.mozSettings.createLock().set("wifi.enabled", true);
to try to set Wifi enabled does not enable WiFi. 

Hamachi Engineering build:
Gecko  http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-b2g18_v1_0_1/rev/d40d1831ff41
Gaia   e2187565da22df0c85b2eb501ced4efd342b7bc2
BuildID 20130514230202
Version 18.0

After that, attempting to set WiFi manually the whole WiFi settings option apperas to be jammed, no networks are found. The device needs to be rebooted for WiFi to be usable again.

This is blocking UI test automation on Hamachi device.

This seems to be true for setting other Settings aswell, for example cell data.

Comment 2

That is 
window.navigator.mozSettings.createLock().set("ril.data.enabled", true);

Possibly a device binary incompatibility problem with our mozilla Gonk?

Not sure about the answer to Comment 3.  It's possible.  Also possibly related:
bug 862951, bug 859993

Comment 5

[Zac C (:zac)]

This is for Moz RIL (verified it just then).

Also seems to be for any attempt to set settings - volume, time, etc anything.

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

Wifi for this portion doesn't have to do with the RIL.

The reason for the wifi not working is due to an undefined MAC address.
