I should point out that if you use wpa_supplicant (if it's possible) you
are bypassing the Nokia connectivity bits completely, and there's no
GUI. Once you're connected there's no issue, and you can store your
username and password in a configuration file, but that does scare some
people off :).

To stop maemo-ized apps from complaining they're not online (because the
Nokia IAP isn't aware of it) you can create a dummy IAP profile. Search
for the DummyIAP page on the Maemo wiki.

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that
the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if
you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all
means, do not use a hammer.
