Problems with new n900 - terminal, WLAN, File Manager
 

Hy there, i have just bought a new N900.

I have flashed it to latest firmware, and I still have problems.

1. WLAN - no network card. I can't find any network, or search. In terminal, ifconfig does not displays wireless network card (WLAN0)

2. Terminal - hangs sometime. I issue sudo gainroot, and it hangs, and nothing happens. Sometime it works.

3. File Manager gets stucked, and i can't shut it down. It displays, not responding, and can't kill it.

Did you issue your command as root?

2/3

Have you got anything else installed, that did not come with the reflash?
Have you done any tweaking like battery patches and whatnot?

Have you tried fsck?

I have issued command as root.
No, I have not installed anything. Soon as I've flashed it, ?'ve tried out to search for VLAn, but no gain.

What is fsck, and how should I use it?

i have also notices that I can't install pyton, or some other kernels, it displays "incompatible application packages".

Perhaps you have a corrupt file system, I thought, so that's why I suggested fsck. Check this:

Normally I don't suggest reflashing as way of solving issues, but if this N900 was just bought, I would suggest to do full Vanilla EMMC+FIASCO reflash. See wiki article "Reflashin" for instructions.

Yes, it's brand new, out of box.

I did have them both flashed, no gain.

I think, the whole problem is with WLAN. File manager and terminal do work, but only if scanning of wirelees networks was not issued.

Every time, I scan the wirelees networks, it doesn't finds any, after that File Manager and terminal problems.

If I issue "ifconfig wlan0 up", the terminal jumps to next line, and not giving me any more input area.
