2008-07-24 Thread Katrin Tomanek
Hi, I am new to OM and just received my new FR a couple of hours ago. I've been playing around with different distributions/images and am now wondering which distribution you guys prefer, use, and/or recommend: - OM2007.2 - ASU - FSO - Qtopia Actually, I tried all of the above ones (most recent

Hi, I am running the kernel from yesterday (uImage-2.6.24+git20080424-om-gta02.bin). Is the fix included in it or do I have to do anything else to get the software fix? Katrin -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/GPS-problems%2C-summary-tp532037p581965.html Sent from the Ope

FSO vs. OM2008.8

2008-08-18 Thread Katrin Tomanek
Hi, I wonder whether to use FSO or OM2008.8 on my freerunner. What are the advantages/disadvantages of these? Where are the differences? I read that both distributions will be merged some time, are there any estimates when this might be? Thanks, Katrin -- View this message in context: http://

Hi, I am currently using OM 2008.8, kernel and rootfs are from 2008-08-08. I am wondering whether regular opkg update & upgrate does the same job as flashing my FR with the latest rootfs. So, general speaking: when should I flash a new rootfs on my FR (and loosing all the configuration stuff I

Hi, I finally managed to connect my FR via Wifi and WPA2. The following happened: after I started this thread 2 days ago, my FR (after rebooting) wouldn't let me connect via ssh (usb) any more -- I guess this was the result of extensive opkg upgrades, something must have gone wrong with the sshd

Hi, I had been posting before on the wifi issue. After I had problems with connecting to my WPA-secured WLAN, I managed easily (with the description as can be found in the wiki) to connect to a WPA2-secured WLAN. Then, I set my AP to WEP and authentication with wpa_supplicant worked -- once! Whe
