Two main problems for me are: 1) it's not only a pain to reboot the phone, something that no *nix system I've ever had ever needed aside from kernel upgrades or serious problems, but due to issue 2 I'm stuck with doing two reboots, first the "soft" variety, then a "proper" one as root, or power cycling the device, which isn't nice..
2) it locks me out of root priviledges, for some reason. Ie, when wifi hangs/breaks, I can't "root", not "sudo gainroot" nor sudo anything.. I can't log on as root nor execute any command that requires root, rendering most of the fixes posted both here and on the Bug Report useless for me.

Hm setting to Open doesnt work for me, personally. Nor does rebooting or the sudo gainroot thing posted earlier (the -9 one).

I have a strange problem with wifi on my n900 which is a little different from that described in this thread. While it detects a signal it is unable to connect. I get the error "Network connection error". I have a second N900 and it works fine using the same wifi. I compared the settings in settings > internet connections and they are identical. Later in the day I went to starbucks and I had no problem with wifi. Back home again and it doesn't work... Perhaps there are some other files I should compare settings? As I've been using it for several years, I wonder if some file got corrupted?
Thanks
Thanks

Since the wifi was working fine with other devices in my house it did not occur to me to turn the wifi unit on and off. Doh!

i am also having the same problem but it unsolved
Tried:
-killall -9 eapd
-Power setting
-changing encryption type-open to....wpa2
-reboot
Does upgrading to a new version of power kernel solve the problem?
