Hrm. I got the xfce setup installed on my n810 but I'm still having the same issue with wireless- it seems to take the essid properly, but not the channel (channel remains at 0 in iwconfig). I double checked to make sure everything still works in OS2008 and it's fine there, so something in my (default) deblet setup is probably wrong. Any clues?

I also have the network problems... I have to do it manually by editing the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file... you can 'info wpa_supplicant.conf' to see examples.. then I run:
Modifying the /etc/network/interfaces works for me for about 10 minutes then I lose connection for no reason... the above is the only way I can keep a reliable connection.
I also have the control issues... i made a thread but nobody responded. It's really annoying... but I use a usb keyboard a lot when I am home anyway and that works fine.
Code:
iwconfig wlan0 essid myssid wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B dhclient wlan0

I'll play around with wpa_supplicant.conf and see what turns up. I wasn't sure whether that post was talking about deblet or not so I hadn't posted there yet, but I will now.
Thanks much, once wireless is sorted out the mayhem can begin
BTW, do we have gps support in deblet? I haven't noticed anything either way.

I loaded gpsdrive.. its in the repo's.. it didn't find the gps device though...and I spent a whole 5 minutes on it... So im not sure if the device drivers and stuff are there ...
But there is definitely software available for it meaning that at worst we'll have to do something similar to what we did with sound and borrow stuff from maemo..
but it may already be there... I haven't messed with it much.

Cool. Once I get the network up and such I'll probably start playing around with it. I'll report back here if I turn anything up.

I've added a new feature to installer, presets. Basically, the deblet_installer takes a parameter which is a file which has a Python dictionary in it.
Example: preset.conf:
{ 'Which Deblet environment would you like to install?' : 'nit-env-stskeeps',
'Where would you like to install Deblet to?' : 0 # question uses choicenum, so this one is the first selection
}
This should be interesting for "Easy" setups of Deblet and such.
Also, one of the preset.conf items could be:
'debconf-preseed' : '/usr/libexec/easydeblet/debconf.preseed'
where debconf.preseed can contain:
dash dash/sh boolean true
Which would make the dash shell default when installed.

Presets seems like a neat feature; I'll try it out soon.
Are fatalsaint and I the only ones having wireless problems? I tried manually setting up wpa_supplicant but didn't have any luck. I've also messed around with various suggestions found via google, but I'm assuming they are outdated. I'd like to hear from other deblet testers to see whether we're the only ones or if it's 810 specific.
I'm quite pleased with deblet so far, but my wireless problems are rather frustrating (and functional control keys would be quite nice). Without wifi I'm not using deblet much, but hopefully I'll figure it out soon and be more able to test things out.
On a happier note, IceWM looks beautiful on the little NIT and applications seem to compile more quickly than I would've expected (but then I'm used to a 266mhz proc & 32MB of RAM...)
Great work thus far, stskeeps.

Update: commenting out the rmmod & modprobe lines from /etc/init.d/oss-wireless-module seems to have corrected my wifi issues. I assume that I/m running a tainted kernel now, but I can deal with that for now. If anyone else is having similar issues they might want to give it a shot.

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:46.
I've backed up my current setup and I'm going to go ahead and try the xfce environment to see if networking is more cooperative there. Unfortunately I'll have to leave the install running at work tonight; won't be home until late. Hopefully it won't have any horrible suprises for me when I return in the morning.
