Hi, All

    I am still getting the Connecting to <SSID> via a local IP address
followed by a red "?" when connecting to unencrypted publically-accessible
WIFI hotspots using Internet Tablet OS 2006. I didn't used to have this
problem with ITOS 2005, (but there was not VOIP in that OS). Connecting over
a mobile phone via bluetooth works fine, (albeit even 384 kbaud doesn't
match WIFI 10baseT or 100baseT broadband.)  It doesn't seem to be router
specific. Every WIFI router I tried resulted in the same state. Has anyone
posted or does anyone know of a standard fix to this problem?

I know that this happens to me when I am connecting to an AP right at the edge of my range or one that is overloaded and the DHCP server is not responding quickly enough. Perhaps there is a config setting buried somewhere that increases the DHCP client timeout before if drops back to a link-local address.

I did a bit of poking around on my device and it looks like a process called icd (Internet Connectivity Deamon) is responsible for setting everything up and it takes its instructions via dbus commands. You would have to get what magic incantation you send to icd to increase the the udhcpc client timeout or where the icd config file is from someone more informed than I.
