Subject: Temporary fix for WiFi issues with MarcoPolo 2.5.1 on Snow Leopard
MarcoPolo Fans

I have a fix for version 2.5.1 that enables the WiFI evidence sources
and WiFi toggling to work on Snow Leopard.  If you would like I can
email you the binary .app file which you can simply overwrite in your
applications folder.  It will continue to use your existing
configuration files. No installation or changes required.

I am working with David on a more permanent solution of getting the
source code updated in the Git repository correctly.  Additionally,
I'd like to make the same changes to the 3.0 version but what I am
getting from the repository doesn't seem to be complete or I am doing
something wrong. Again, i'm working with David to do things the
official way...

but if anyone is interested in my temporary .app replacement just
email me.

All MarcoPolo fans...

I seriously underestimated how many people would be interested in this
fix.  My mail box loaded with requests for the patched binary.  I
believe I have responded to everyone so far with an attached binary;
however, if I missed you I apologize.  From now on please download the
patched binary from my Public iDisk folder below.  It would also be
nice if you replied to this discussion thread with a message stating
whether you got it and it resolved your issues with WiFi.  It's
interesting to know how many people are using the temporary fix.

http://idisk.mac.com/radesix-Public?view=web

I would also like to add... that if you are like me... you didn't
realize how important this application was to you until it broke.  I
quickly realized this was the most valuable application on my MacBook
Pro back when I installed the developer preview of SL back in June and
MarcoPolo quit working.  Please consider making a donation to the
author David Symonds and sending a thank you message to him.
Furthermore, the fact that he made his code open source is what
allowed me to make and provide this temporary fix for myself and you
guys.  What I did was not rocket science and only took me a few
minutes...David really deserves all the credit for this tool. I just
couldn't live without it or wait for Dave to fix it!!!

Below is the email and instructions I was replying to people with.

Attached is the newly compiled version for Snow Leopard which
addresses the WiFi Evidence Source and Toggling issues.  As a reminder
this is version 2.5.1, not the 3.0 beta.

You shouldn't need to do anything except:

1) Quit MarcoPolo if it is currently running
2) Unzip the attached file
3) Copy the .app file into your Applications folder
4) Restart MarcoPolo

it will continue to use your existing configuration information.

Best Regards and Enjoy!

Just had my first wifi-switch this morning. Just works, possibly even
better than under Leopard, in that i was not faced with a list of
unknown networks for this location before the switch.

Thank you very much for incorporating the fix, much appreciated!

For some non-obvious reason I had to edit my WiFi rules to make them
work (click edit, set the "other" instance of the same network ID,
then save).  Before that it would not use the rule correctly.
Otherwise it works great, thanks!

Shaun - absolutely agree with the comment about indispensability of
Marco Polo. I use the 3 beta version and would love to see that
patched. (I don't want to use the 2.5 cos I can't remember what
functionality I gained with the beta but I'm sure it was important) Is
there any chance of that?  By the way - I can't seem to get the 'set
default printer' command to work either. Is that also broken by Snow
Leopard?

I tried beta 3 once because I needed "bluetooth discovery" support.
Then I decided I didn't need a bluetooth rule so I went back to 2.5.
Unfortunately, I don't think 3.0 will be fixed anytime soon.  3.0 is
undergoing a major rewrite by the author and the code available is in
the Git repository is nowhere near complete.

I have not heard of the "set default printer" not working in SL but
Its not a rule and action that I use so let me check into it.  When I
find something definite i'll make a post on the discussion forums.
I'll provide a fix if possible.

Best Regards
Shaun

Russell,

I checked the default printer settings on my MBP... no default was set
initially, but when I did set a default printer, MarcoPolo changed it
correctly for me.

Yes, I just checked that and it happened for me the same as for you.
I'm having trouble resetting all my printers in SL so I'll try with
the other ones when I get back to work.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm using the 3 beta and would like to downgrade to the SL-ready 2.5
version.  Can I simply overwrite the app and use my existing prefs, or
do I need to set up the prefs from scratch again?

You'll need to set up your prefs again; they are stored in different
places in a different format.

Do you have any NetworkLocation actions?

Hi David - sorry I wasn't clear.

The main use for MP on my MBP is auto switching network locations
based on evidences. I have been using 3 beta on 10.5 happily.

Because of the wifi issue I went to 2.5.1

Printer changing didn't work, but now does. You have to set a default
first. My setting was on last used and MP wouldn't switch on that. So
happy now.

Now I am having trouble auto switching network locations. If I force
switch to a MP location with an accompanying networklocation action it
does other actions but says 'failed to switch network location'.
Having said that, it did switch ok from startup this morning.

It may be only under certain circumstances that it won't switch....

The code that I changed only affected the WiFi Evidence Source and
Toggle functionality.  Using the same version I am having no trouble
mounting my SMB drives.

Did you downgrade from 3.0 beta or were you on 2.5.1 already? If you
downgrading you'll need to reconfigure everything because the config
is stored in different locations from 2.5 to 3.0.

Best Regards
Shaun

Worked for me, however for some reason it didn't detect the SSID of my

Now it looks to work...

If you had a clean install of Snow Leopard i'm not sure you can just
copy over my patched binary to the applications folder.  I would
install the official release of 2.5.1 and then overwrite the .app
binary with the patched binary provided from the link in this
thread.
