WiFi not working on N900
 
Yesterday, i updated via WiFi, it wasn't such a big update, just open media player, GPSP.
Today, when I came home, I was unable to connect. It just saying connecting... If I restart the wifidriver, it completely crashes, and I need to reboot. Cleven, and aircrack-ng works with bleeding edge, but I cannot connect. Also it sees the available wireless networks in managed mode too...
Any ideas?

Hi, yesterday I had the same problem after I tried to update with FAM the "ipv6-support" package from version 0.1 to 0.2.
I say 'tried' because the update process resulted in a dependency error.
So i run from root terminal "apt-get install -f" (this removed ipv6-support 0.2, which, in my case, was not installed correctly). Then I reinstalled the previous version via 3G connection and with the mirror repositories, but I guess you can also download the package manually to your pc from http://www.skeiron.org/repo/reposito.../ipv6-support/, transfer it via usb and install it with HAM.

great, thanks! I will test it out. The ipv6 install also failed on my device, but I didn't gave it a look.

Also, I forgot to mention, that I booted android, and WiFi works.

I'm glad to hear that. I wonder if this problem has been reported...
For now I blacklisted ipv6-support 0.2...

Same problem here, reinstalled the previous version 0.1, if you are going to manually install the previous version (via downloading first into the computer then transferred via usb into n900 using the terminal dpkg -i) you may need to download the following dependencies packages if you accidentally removed them:
