I've had successful connections with open, WEP and WPA networks. And i've seen an AP i couldn't connect at all too. It looks like FR's wifi is incompatible with some APs, no matter if encryption is used or not. See http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket//1250 for example. To sum up: FR's wifi has 2 kinds of known problems: incompatibility with particular APs and instability of the internal firmware. Using an old (pre-.28) kernel is not recommended due to stability issues. Also i think Werner is still going to finish his daemon to promptly power-cycle the wifi module on internal firmware crash; that can improve stability somewhat. I wouldn't hope these compatibility issues will ever be fixed, so my advice is: trade your AP for the one FR can work with. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
