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

I can get a DHCP WEP network to connect fine (work), but at home (DHCP WPA) I get nothing. You mention that you have different interface files, coul dyou describe the differences between them.

Re: [SHR] from debian to shr ;-)
i'm using shr testing that's quite stable... [some issues with sound resume and gsm registering, but i guess it's just a kernel problem] i use a wep static ip network and a dhcp wpa one, i have some interfaces files that i switch between. to check my gmail account i use minimo that's really fast [and has https support]. some times i use dillo for specific uses. if you need more infos just ask, if you have some fixes... tell me! d On 4/4/09, Fernando Martins wrote: > Davide Scaini wrote: >> [writing from fr now] >> > Could you just summarise which network/email tools/setup you are using > to achieve this? > > > Thanks, > Fernando > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

This has happened to me before when Illume didn't like the combination of categories I used.
