By default the /etc/resolv.conf on 2008.8 is empty so the Freerunner can't resolve names. This is why you can't access the internet. The last line of your script copies the /etc/resolv.conf from your ubuntu box to the Freerunner, so internet connections start working. _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
