There is a wiki-page with information:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02_WLAN

I followed this example yesterday, and it worked:

# ifconfig eth0 up
# iwconfig eth0 essid any
# iwconfig eth0 key '...'
# iwconfig eth0 essid '...'
# udhcpc eth0
# ifconfig usb0 down; ifconfig usb0 up

 
 Also, a problem with SIM cards: I use Cingular's pay-as-you-go

I don't know ... maybe someone else can answer that.

I had a similar problem with my SIM.  Switching to Qtopia seemed to do
 the trick for me, but there might be a way to get it to work with the
 factory image.


Can you send me instructions (or a link) on how to switch to Qtopia?

SIM cards and Wireless

2008-07-22 Thread Anschel Schaffer-Cohen
Two problems, both rather critical (with the FreeRunner):

The first problem is that I don't see any way to connect to a wireless
network. Wifi is on the power button menu, and the icon is visible, but it
doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing something here? Am I expected to
use the terminal for this?

Also, a problem with SIM cards: I use Cingular's pay-as-you-go service, and
the phone can't seem to find the network or my contacts--the title bar says
simply registering... this means I can't use any of the normal phone
features. The card for my mother's normal plan works, but my father's
pay-as-you-go also does not work. Is there a reason for this? A workaround?

Thanks, and sorry if these are obvious questions,
Anschel
