Just this morning, with SHR 2009/08/08: 1. resume 2. enable wifi in shr-settings 3. use mofi to connect 4. profit Could it be that mofi uses some of the workarounds? connman+mokonnect has never worked on my Freerunner, I'm willing to try new versions if they're already in the shr-u repo because mokonnect seems much more better in terms of usability (but unfortunately doesn't WFM).
