Hello linux/maemo savvies,
there are some posts in this forum that quote that the wifi adapter has a problem in areas with a lot of access points and/or with an Airport Extreme router.
For 2 weeks now i'm not able to connect to my network using the maemo tool.
So I installed the wireless-tools. I now can connect but i can only use the connection from the console because apps like for example the browser do not detect that i'm online. These programms seam to trigger wlancond that immediately kills my connection.
I use a script to connect:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
ifconfig wlan0 essid "xyz"
iwconfig wlan0 kex "blabla"
udhcpc -i wlan0
Here is my question:
How can I tell the system, that I'm connected to the internet, that it can be understood by the browser and other programms??
Thank you
Carl
