Running "iwconfig eth0 power off" fixed it -- but that's still with 2007.2. Perhaps there is something wrong with wifi power saving in the driver? regards, Derick -- HEAD before 5_3!: http://tinyurl.com/6d2esb http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

What was even weirder is that I tried it at work today with a fancy new WPA2 accesspoint, and it was working fine there as well. Thanks!

It's so ancient, I doubt that it even supports any blocking or filtering. I've not had any issues with any other WLAN device (or that of my friends), so I'm pretty sure there are no issues here. regards, Derick -- HEAD before 5_3!: http://tinyurl.com/6d2esb http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I do, and that's the weirdest part - the rx packet count increases too even. I also checked whether it could be a broken resolver, but pinging to an IP adres doesn't work either. regards, Derick -- HEAD before 5_3!: http://tinyurl.com/6d2esb http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I was pretty sure that the routes where okay - I did just double check and it's all fine: http://files.derickrethans.nl/Screenshot-5.png I've check that resolv.conf is correct (same as on the laptop that uses the same WLAN), but still no dice. It gets the IP address just fine through DHCP, but *no* packets go over the line - I can't even ping the gateway (though I can ping the device's IP). Now I do remember that when upgrading my kernel it mentioned something about wlan modules - but I do not remember the extend of those messages. Any other ideas what the issue could be? I am still on 2007.7 - as how it came with the phone, but I've opkg update & opkg upgrade'd it all today. Any other ideas? regards, Derick -- HEAD before 5_3!: http://tinyurl.com/6d2esb http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Okay, I'll see if that does the trick then -- but I am sure I only had one route left in the "route -n" output. regards, Derick -- HEAD before 5_3!: http://tinyurl.com/6d2esb http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
WLAN troubles
Hello, I received my freerunner last weekend, and liking it sofar. I've had a play with wifi - and although the freerunning sees the networks just fine (with iwlist eth0 scan) and I can connect to the network as well - I get a DHCP lease, with nameservers and all, the route is correct too. However, I can't do any sort of connection - nor ping. I've looked around on the wiki and list archives, but I can't find why it is not working. Does any of you have any hint at were to look at to debug this issue? regards, Derick -- HEAD before 5_3!: http://tinyurl.com/6d2esb http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

What would help here is if the signature was prepended with "-- " + new line. For some reason mailman's defaults don't this. If that "-- " would be there most clients simply strip off the signature.
