Actually yeah... I am using VirtualBox with the vmware virtual image. Good point.. I could start looking in there.

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

I just updated my N900 and have had this problem too. I have read this far (post 53) and until now could not access the web using WI-FI.

I followed your solution below except the part where you removed vpnc and vpnc-gui. every thing works now WI-FI access, vpnc and vpnc-gui

I second the thanks of the help of the maemo community!

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

OK, I will try to do it after vpnc removal and BEFORE move to 51.x
Just need to check versions... to do not install it from 51.x ;)

If there is no old version I will try it after move to 51.x

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

OK finally got it working following the link.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...288#post470288

I do not think that this is a DNS issue as I tried to mod the resolv.conf with nameserver but no help.
Thanks guys. Cheers to community!!. But Nokia, this will not work if you were to reclaim iphone place. Let me check what other issues the new firmware has now :-)

Thank you all. I am planning to write a N900 review this weekend and was waiting for MFE support before doing so let me complete this over the weekend.

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

Why the hate on Nokia? Again.. this was not their fault. *sigh*.

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

Unfortunately, you are too optimistic on vpnc - original file /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script had some code to fix DNS over VPN and just replacing it with new version destroys that code.

To fix this you should uninstall vpnc and install it again.

BTW, month ago I noted that there are two packages vpngui and vpn-gui. The last one (vpn-gui) was very buggy but vpngui work perfect. Just FYI.

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

I would remove it too.

I am using the openvpn and openvpn-applet packages and didn't have this problem. The creator packaged them well I'd say.

This is not a good replacement for vpnc?

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

So will I get the newer file by uninstalling and reinstalling the vpnc and the WI-FI will still work?

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

If the package was written right, then it should put back any changes it made when removed AFAIK. But who knows....

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

I tried openvpn at first (both on my N800 before I got the N900). the problem I had was I need a vpn client for work. the network admins will only supply a PCF file with an encryption key and the server info. I could not get openvpn to import the file so I went back to the more buggy but able to import the file provided program.

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

AH but that is the problem something was not written right if its not the firmware upgrade its the VPN program and with a program that is still in extra-devel I I would be more inclined to suspect it first. But I can get attached to my office network with VPN and my WI-Fi is working again. I wish I had saved the original "libicd_network_ipv4.script" file now that I think about it I would like to compare then to see what was different from the two files.

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

You can rebuild the working file with Dave's post here.

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

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!!!!!!!

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

Oh ok. I see. I am lucky work gave me an openVPN config and keys. Worked first go. Gotta get lucky sometimes..

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

11. Nokia catalogs are not working.
13. sometimes I cant write in Texboxes in maemo Browser (this was my second chance I tried. Now it works..)
please solve the bugs. I am programmer too.

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

Someone did a few pages back.

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

Hmmm maybe DNS issue.

What does going to this address in your browser do?
66.102.11.99

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

Open VPN and vpnc are not compatible. Both uses something different and are supposed to work with different VPN setup.

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

I've never installed any VPN software, /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script.dpkg-dist does not exist and the contents of /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script are this:

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. :(

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

Just your wifi doesn't work nickt? 3G works fine?

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

Is power set to 100mW?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

DNS fail after upgrade to 2.2009.51-1.002
 

I can reach sites by IP address but not by name.

Is independent of what access point I connect to.

If I put in a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf, it works OK.

Re: DNS fail after upgrade to 2.2009.51-1.002
 

I've the same problem when connecting to wifi. Reboot of the device helps most of the times.

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

The thread "DNS fail after upgrade to 2.2009.51-1.002 " with two posts has been merged into this thread.

Re: DNS fail after upgrade to 2.2009.51-1.002
 

Put line

nameserver 127.0.0.1

into /etc/resolv.conf AND into /etc/vpnc/resolv.conf-backup
Package vpnc does some copying back and forth both files but it may at some point destroy one of them ---> you lose DNS during connection setup. Bug in vpnc, I filled it to them (not Maemo, because at that time they don't have a slot in bugs.maemo.org)

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

Can you write a little more details? File /etc/dnsmasq doesn't exist but it should be /etc/dnsmasq.conf and you may find file /etc/dnsmasq.conf.dpkg-dist

Just double check before next steps...

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

Please use line

apt-get install --reinstall -d libicd-network-ipv4

as DaveQB wrote previously.

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

I have the same problem = I can't look up web addresses when using WIFI. It connects fine and I get a IP.

I have the following in the /etc/resolv.conf file:
"nameserver 127.0.0.1"

Is that correct? If not, what do I need to write in /etc/resolv.con???

Thanks

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

It is correct, but more info is need - when you see it - before using wifi or during using wifi? Did you even install vpnc?

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

HEY! What do ya know, that fixed it for me too. Thanks, and thanks to everyone else for helping. :)

Re: DNS fail after upgrade to 2.2009.51-1.002
 

The problem with manually changing resolv.conf is most DHCP software will overwrite that when you connect via DHCP. I don't know specifically what the N900 does or has.. but I'd be wary of that.

I think the real problem isn't the resolv.conf's... but that script file discussed before. I believe that fires off whatever tool or utility that then creates the appropriate resolv.conf file for you.
