anyone having the same problems?
I've had the same problem too. but this is how i fixed it

After I flashed.. the device name is changed to Nokia-N900-51-1 from Nokia-N900-42-11 (BTW i also have "Wireless MAC Filtering")

Just that change didn't allow me to connect.. So i just added my new name Nokia-N900-51-1 back to "ALLOWED DEVICES"
and wallah connection again... hope this helps


EDIT: I'm not sure if update changes MAC address if anyone knows please enlighten... thanks
