A status update from my side as well.
I spent yesterday some time and re-flashed my N800 with the same build (latest)
as it had when I received it. I used the tools from Nokia support site on my
laptop (WIN XP). After that the problem is gone. Now the default router gets
set properly (previously was (none) and the connection through my WRT54GL has
been working perfectly well for 18h or so.
I had tried connecting using ip-address without success, so dns was not the
reason.
So it seems to me that the obvious reason for not being able to connect to
internet properly was the default router problem. (ip, netmask, dns had proper
values, default router (none)) Unfortunately I hadn't had enough time to
install xterm etc. Still a newby with Internet Tablet and debian.
Unfortunate for you Nokia guys that now I'm not able to reproduce the problem
anymore so that you could trace back to the root cause for certain units not
functioning as expected out of the box. Sorry for that, but I was so eager to
get my gadget up'n running.
Br,
Timo

Come on, it's Monday. Please give the guy some time to wakeup first ;)
Sure, go and get a second cup of coffee. I'll wait. :)
But seriously: keep all comments coming, I'm curious to see how WLAN
works for N800.

What N800 image version?
Version: 1.2006.47-20

Can you check kernel logs with dmesg? Is there talk about "haven't got
a WR_READY for DMA write"?
Nothing like that is visible. In fact there is nothing evil-looking in the
dmesg before:
DEAUTHENTICATE TRAP
Shut down SoftMAC
Loading 3826.arm firmware
(c)opyright 2004 Conexant
...
Which I suspect is re-initializing the wlan?
Only messages before those are in the nature of:
EAC mode: play enabled/disabled, rec enabled/disabled
omapfb: ... setting update mode to manual/disabled/enabled
I'll get a fresh dmesg next time I see this problem.

Yep, there's dnsmasq running. IIRC, the original resolv.conf files are
in '/tmp/resolv.conf.*'.
Ok. Shouldn't matter here anyway because connection with ip-address does not
work either.
