They have a 2 day special on now (5 euro) , so i purchased it. It will not install. i wonder if that is because i use an overclocked kernel (2.6.28.10power 40). i uninstalled mobilehotspot thinking that might be the problem (could never connect to it from my laptop) but still no joy. That application manager sure is slow since the latest maemo upgrade.

@tabe_ape

Good that you mentioned that, so i bought JoikuSpot for 5 Euros to test it.
Actually, I'm writing this here via JoikuSpot on my N900 with my laptop and it works for a first shot very fine and connections via 3G is fast enough for surfing the web with a laptop :-)

If it's reliable over a longer time intervall, I can't say yet but I only need it occationally anyway.

The free version 'mobilehotspot' would be nice, too, but I don't want (yet) to replace the original kernel because .. never change a running system, right?

regards,
nexus

PS.

This site:

https://www.kabeldeutschland.de/info...speedtest.html

gives me ca 2.5 Mbit/s for download and 0.119MBit/s for upload.
That's fast enough for me :-D


PPS; JoikuSpot claimes a even the following maximum speed:
for download 3,60Mbit/s and 236,40 kbit/s for upload.

Turns out i have bigger problems! a Wallet update failed, and i can't install anything.:mad:

i checked the Application Manager log, and it indicates an input/output error with /home/user/MyDocs. in the past i have had files and whole directories disappear from MyDocs and have worked around it by putting everything on the SD card. Now it looks like i am going to have to reflash the eMMS:(

..... charging the battery .... backing up .... backing up .....

Meanwhile, i have tried JoikuSpot a little more and found some problems :-|

WEP-Encryption (64- or 128-Bit) does not seem to work. At least, I cannot connect to JoikuSpot with my laptop while it works fine without encryption. That's a little bit annoying and doesn't feel good -- even when WEP is not the best encryption method.

maybe I switch to the power kernel someday .. ;-)

Thanks all for the responses.
