So, now that I replaced the touchscreen in my GTA02, I can try and actually use that gizmo. So I installed QtMoko v54, and it seems to work fairly well. But I can't figure out how to connect to my home wifi. Part of the problem might be that I don't understand the UI.
Here's what I expect: - click on some "wifi connect" button. - auto-select a known network, and/or show me a list of available networks. - I choose my home network. - seeing it's encrypted, it asks me for the password, connects and then remembers the password for next time. Instead, here's what I did and what happened: - clock on the house shaped icon. - click on the "settings" icon. - select "Internet". - create a "Wireless LAN" entry with "New" (in the menu). - fail to understand what to do, so moved back. - click on the newly created "Wireless LAN". - it shows me a list of networks, from which I can select mine. - says it tries to connect but doesn't ask for a password. - after a while the status reverts to "not connected", indicating presumably that the connection failed. - move back and keep the "Wireless LAN" entry selected. - select "Properties..." from the menu. - go to "Wireless Encryption". - this time I can select my home network from the menu (along with all the many others that are in range even no I never showed any interest in them). - even tho the earlier list (the one from which I can try to connect) showed that QtMoko knows the network is encrypted, the encryption setting defaults to "Open". - I set it to WPA-PSK. - I painfully type in the long password, and hit return. - move back. - move "forward" to wireless encryption again, to check the password was properly recorded. The display doesn't actually show the password any more, but at least the WPA-PSK setting is recorded as well as the length of the password: looking OK. - select "Wireless LAN". - from the network list shown I select my home network. - the system says it's trying to connect to my network. - after a while it reverts to saying the status is "not connected" without any information about why. - I go back to the wireless encryption panel and lo and behold the encryption setting for my network is again set to "Open". I tried it a couple times, in case the error was in the password, but now I'm pretty sure the problem is elsewhere. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way to get some info about what went wrong? Can I provide my network's password via the command line instead?
