Thanks for the work done on turning the N900 into a WIFI gateway.

I am having difficulties in getting this to work. Have upgraded to PR 1.2, and executed the following:
# /usr/sbin/mobilehotspot_backend start
then i used the Gui to start and the error message is "hotpsot failed to start".

Debug log as follows:
uname -r -> 2.6.28.10power37

Log file from running the backend is as follows:
Code:

I have also tried the backend fix suggested by Flynx on #34 but to no avail.

There is also no response when i ping 10.89.55.1

Any suggestion on the next step to try and get this working?

Thank you.
