Constantly pinging from the device works too (yes, I know this wasn't
the kind of hint you were hoping for).

hmmm   strange... when I type in the xterm 'ping' I get back:
sh: ping not found

'ping' is just a symbolic link to the busybox.

When I type 'busybox' at command line I get

There is NO ping on the list. Do I have to recompile busybox to include ping ?
[which will require to create a ARM/meamo SDK environment.. a lot of work..
especially for  newbie like me]

Or, is there a simples solution to get ping.


Install the iputils deb from the Application Catalog; anyway, you'll need to be root to execute the ping command.
 

There is a bug for this in the
maemo bugzilla:
https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=329
Add yourself to the CC list to keep yourself informed.

Thanks for the link. I've added myself to the CC list.

Also, Patrik Flykt (@Nokia) said "Yesterday we finally received two
units that drop wlan connections. We are investigating the issue." (This
was three-four weeks ago)

I hope he (or they) at Nokia  will find a solution or, perhaps, a simpler  (read nicer)
workaround soon.
Why I am saying this ?
Because 3 of my co-workers are impressed with 770 and they want to order it.
I do not want them to be disappointed because of such a basic bug(s).

Regards

Igor
