i've tried a hand full of different os's on my n800 but for some reason none of them let me configure the wifi. using deblet i had the lxde desktop but when it booted there were 2 network manager icons in the bottom corner but i coudln't bring up any options for em, it just had a popup saying 'no network devices', i just put the gnome basic deblet on my external card but the network manager editor only lets me type in the name section, not bssids so i can't manually add my dd-wrt router. any sugestions?

i was able to solve it in my deblet installation by modifying /etc/init.d/tablet-wireless.

i added the following line to the end of the tablet_setup() function so it now looks like:
Code:
        # ifconfig wlan0 up - was for network-manager

        /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
}

it worked on my deblet lxde installation right after the first boot.
please let me know if you need assistance modifying this file
