So it must be the HAM.
(It's only now that understand that word: HAM=hildon-application-manager.)



I would like to know why the iptable script doesn't work.
The author of the original script writes that the line:
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -o $INET_IFACE -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

was necessary for sources.list to download.

If I use this line only for wlan0 and not for gprs0 it should block download for 3D shouldn't it?
it allows output of tcp packages to destination port 80. (everything is blocked by default at first and gradually all the ports needed are opened in the script)

e: and if you block port 80, you will have one helluva poor internets experience (read=not working)
