It's not related to RepWifi, but rather to the phone itself that is probably not capable of sustaining the relatively high current demand of the supported external dongles. Unfortunately, this is not something I can solve inside RepWifi. It would *probably* be possible to fine-tune the current consumption by modifying the atheros driver, but there is currently nobody working on that. > I can browse websites. I cannot download files.

These were also well-known issues ([2] and [3]), having F-Droid and other apps not working properly with the connection established by RepWifi. Both issues are solved in the latest version of RepWifi (currently v0.9.2) [4]. Your version is probably outdated. You can upgrade following the instructions at [5]. > If one of you would tell me how to install the phone's non free wifi > driver please email me. I assure > confidentiality. More precisely, it is the non-free *firmware* that's missing [6][7] REMINDER: If anybody is willing to help users installing non-free software on their phone, *please do NOT do so on the official Replicant channels*.
