I figured out how to do it... kinda, works for http applications anyway. wifi positioning doesn't work, I guess it doesn't use http...
anyway, first thing is to install privoxy.
second, install wireless-tools. I had to install it from the command line, after getting root.
after that, setup privoxy (in /etc/privoxy/config) to
Code:
listen-address :8118
. yes, leave the address blank, and just specify the port. Make sure you configure your web browser on the nokia to use the proxy, otherwise the configuration won't reload after editing (it only reloads on use - so use the proxy and browse some sites after editing the config)
make your bluetooth dun connection on the nokia, and then open the terminal window.
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc essid n810 key off
your ipod touch should see a new network: n810
here are the settings:
Code:
ip address: static 192.168.1.2
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
router: (won't actually route anything, but won't save unless set) 192.168.1.2
dns: (no dns server needed, but filled it out anyway) 192.168.1.1
search domains: <none needed>
http proxy: manual
server: 192.168.1.1
port: 8118
authentication: off
that's how I have mine configured. http like web and facebook works fine, twitter seems to work, maps works (without wifi positioning). basically, anything that uses only http connections should work. since the built-in email uses direct connections, that will fail though.
