Yes and it would be also nice if you could try connect to your router from 
command line. Something like:

iwfconfig essid eth0 your_ap_essid
udhcpc eth0

and you can also try with dhclient:

iwfconfig essid eth0 your_ap_essid
dhclient eth0

If my reading of the QtMoko source is correct, QtMoko simply uses
'udhcpc' to do client-side DHCP.  So what you've described may be a
known bug with the Debian squeeze version of udhcpc (which is part of
busybox).

Therefore, you might like to:

- see if you can reproduce the same problem with Debian squeeze udhcpc,
  running independently of QtMoko

- investigate if that problem has since been fixed in busybox upstream

- build and install a modified busybox package that adds that udhcpc
  fix.

WLAN connection problems w. static IP

2012-06-03 Thread Thomas Pantzer

Hello,

has anybody of you a working WLAN configuration
_WITH_ static IP addresses in the Neo Freerunner ?

It simply doesn't work for me or it has never been tested at all.

If I uncheck the DHCP tick and enter a static IP address in the

Internet -> WLAN ->Properties -> IP Settings

it will be always reverted back to DHCP.

The openmoko simply doesn't use the supplied static IP address.



I can't use DHCP with my home network since my DHCP server
refuses to send IP address to clients that send too short
request.  This is another bug in the QtMoko. According to
the RFC a DHCP-request needs to be padded up to 300 chars.




Best Regards
