When I started running around with my 770, I found that the 'screen' program was my best long-lost friend. Had been a while since I used it, but I fell back in love with it now that I basically carry a wireless dumb terminal/mp3 player in my pocket.

Do you know if it is possible to use wpa_supplicant (I realize I might have to port it myself), just wondering about driver compatibility. Otherwise, maybe something like gnome network manager to wrap it to get support for the BT DUN.

I posted about this exact same issue as it's how the iPhone works and one of the very cool features of that device. http://www.maemoapps.com/2007/10/23/maemo-feature-request-connection-switching/ In the comments is a link to the roadmap wishlist - http://maemo.org/community/wiki/roadmapwishlist/ where I also added it formally but have not heard anything since then.

network priority and autoreconnect (OS2008)
I am wondering if this is even possible, but is there a way to set up priorities (as in wpa_supplicant.conf, for example) for the different networking connections (including tethered BT)? I am getting really sick of having to manually reconnect each connection. My personal setup: Home network: visible SSID, WPA-PSK, reconnects automatically Work network: hidden SSID, WPA-PEAP/MS-CHAPv2, does not reconnect automatically Phone network: HSDPA via BT (AT&T), does not connect automatically The biggest problem for me is that if I am connected to my phone (say, on my commute...) it keeps the phone connection even if the Home wireless network is available. Same is true of the work network, although the work network never autoconnects. The real problem here is it drains my phone battery unnecessarily when a WLAN is available. I have no problem editing configuration files by hand, but is this even possible? It is really a source of irritation for me. I also would rather not _ever_ be prompted to set up a new network - I will browse for one when I want to add something to my preferred network list. Any help greatly appreciated.
