Hi Chris, I guess Arne was faster than me, but well... ;-) Listen to his advice. If you still need Wiki links check those out: There is a quite detailed GPS-Test already documented at the wiki, but you need the right search terms (took me a while to find it the first time ;-) http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Howto_Test_Your_GPS_with_agpsui As for WiFi I recommend using wpa_supplicant to manage your WiFis (Open, WEP and WPA): http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wireless_Networking Sebastian _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
