run-parts -a "$1" /etc/maemo-dchp.d

I'm confused. Guess I will have to use wifi in "intermediate" power saving mode to use it until there is some kind of update. :(

Is power set to 100mW?

1. I used the back up of the previous version... (copia de seguridad in spanish)
2. I instaled the new firmware ...44..x.x... using pc suite in my computer..
3. I lost every application I instaled before.
4. I lost the configuration for my cellular provider connections.. (PORTA... ECUADOR)
5. I set up the data connection and the infraestructure connection with the old parameter... only voice was working... but internet nothing....
6. I bucked up my new .44 configuration
7. I restored my old backup configuration.
8. Internet old connection is working... but new still not... both use the same parameter. I can't delete my new data connection ( the not working internet connection).
9. I connected the phone to the internet through my PORTA provider and I can't download nothing from the OVI Store!!!!l
10. In my old firmware maemo and my new firmware maemomy phone has a number 2.5 near the battery graphic...

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!

Hey, from Ecuador? Im too, from Guayaquil :D but im expecting get my N900 this week from USA :( send me a private message or add me to msn as my nickname here (maguitodelrock)in hotmail for stay in contact

PD: the 2.5 number near batterry graphic is about EDGE signal, and show that 3g is not available because in Ecuador 3g is only over 850 mhz and not 900/1700 mhz so that is the best u can get with N900
PD: Plz this is not spam i cant pm him and i im just little surprised with finding a mate from my country :O dont edit plz :)

Re: After updating Maemo 5 PR1.1, no longer able to connect using WiFi

Yeah, T-Mobile 3G connection works fine.

Power is set to 100mW. It only seems to work with either "On (Intermediate)" or "On (Maximum)" for the Power saving setting.

What is the router?
What is the distance? Walls?

And - how long it lasts w Intermediate?

Re: After updating Maemo 5 PR1.1, no longer able to connect using WiFi

The router is a Linksys BEFW11S4. It doesn't connect at all when power saving mode is fully on. The wifi icon just blinks, then goes away eventually. Distance isn't a problem -- if I stand right next to it, it will still do this.

With intermediate, it works just like it used to... stays on.

Re: After updating Maemo 5 PR1.1, no longer able to connect using WiFi

I don't know maybe I'm lucky. WiFi works with all power saving modes. Automatically switches, etc.

Using generic BrandLuxe AP, also tested it with Netgear and Linksys AP.

Re: After updating Maemo 5 PR1.1, no longer able to connect using WiFi

Ok my problem is a bit surreal!
Spent last night on the n900 trying to fix it! - failed!

Wireless refused to work....

Got home this morning, tried apt-get -d install libicd-network-ipv4, it said it failed as the file was the original. Without rebooting i tried to connect to the home wireless and it is working.....

Random!

But i must say a huuuge thank you to all of you have have stuck around to help us/me out on here.

I removed vpnc gui and vpnc (didn't need it as I got OpenVPN to work), then went through the following steps:

1. Install 'rootsh' package
2. Open X Terminal
3. Enter 'sudo gainroot'
4. Enter 'mv /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script.dpkg-dist /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script'

rebooted, re-connected to LAN and...back in business!! Thank you Maemo community!

And regarding my fear of flashing and voiding my warranty, it was moot anyway as I've reflashed a couple of times earlier trying to get Knots2 working.

Cheers!

Do you need to be connected to a VPN to do this?

Re: After updating Maemo 5 PR1.1, no longer able to connect using WiFi

I have to thank DaveQB for his post outlining the exact problem i was having with DNS not working.

I found i had /etc/dnsmasq.conf.dpkg-dist file that contained the new dnsmasq conf and i was still running the old version pointing to non-existent /tmp/resolv* files!

No.

Re: After updating Maemo 5 PR1.1, no longer able to connect using WiFi

Ok, I've actually decided to flash the device and it seems to be working fine now. For those of you who are thinking about doing the same I would certainly recommend it. Folow this link for insrtuctions: http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/...&thread.id=168
