Hi,

I just received my second SB3 and am trying to set up its wireless
networking. I accidentally entered the wrong static IP address
(192.168.1.x instead of 192.168.2.x -- I don't use DHCP) and now,
whenever I try to fix it by going through "set up networking", the SB
reboots right after I choose my SSID.

I successfully connected to a neighbor's WLAN and connected to
SqueezeNetwork. I changed the SB3's IP, then tried to connect back to
my SSID with the same results: the SB3 reboots right after I choose my
SSID. By "reboot" I mean the display goes blank and, after a moment, I
get the "SLIM DEVICES" splash screen and have to start all over in
networking setup.

FWIW, my network uses WPA encryption and the neighbor's uses no
encryption. I have another SB3 that connects to my network (wired) with
no problems. It used to connect wirelessly to my network, but now it's
hardwired. For kicks, I tried connecting this other SB3 wirelessly to
my network (like it used to be), and when I get to the screen to enter
the "WPA password" (it has a few asterisks instead of an area where I
can enter the 65 hex-digit WPA pre-shared key), it, um, says "malloc
failed" and reboots.

The was a point with the new SB3 that I was able to enter the 65-digit
pre-shared key... when I powered it up for the first time and started
the networking setup. I can no longer get there or to any of the other
settings (ip address, subnet mask, dns server, etc).

Both SB3s have firmware version 55. Is the WPA implementation in SB3
buggy? Help! What should I do?

Thank you,
grimholtz
