[Angstrom-devel] Help on Getting Zaurus onto the Net via WiFi

[Morten Hulden]

Hi,

I have a Zaurus C1000 running x11 2207.12 and WiFi works fine (Linksys 
WCF12). The only thing I had to do was to take down the usb0 interface 
that is there as default.

So try this: before plugging in the WiFi open a terminal and do

ifdown usb0

Does it help? I assume your access point is running as DHCP server and 
DNS and allows unencrypted connections. Better test with a setup as 
simple as possible.
