Like Meizirkki says: untar the image from the tablet or mount your memory card on the computer manually (i.e. don't have automounted) and unpack it then.

Memory cards are auto-mounted with anal-retentive options like nodev, etc. which NetworkManager does not like. I had been through ~5/7 installs of Mer wondering why NetworkManager kept saying "Wireless card not found" (or something like that)...

I should start the "NM should die" campaign soon...

I'm pretty sure I did everything on-tablet. But I might have done something else wrongly... So there's no way to debug this once I've got things set up?

BTW: Welcome back, Meizirkki! I've missed having you around the Alternatives forums!

I never hear of Mer, but I think is a good idea to give a new life to my old Nokia 770. It is worth a try !!!

The major showstopper for me is that I haven't managed to get BT DUN connectivity to work.
I'm using Easy Mer, but I'm able to connect using BT DUN on an Alltel Motorola VE465. There is no disconnect option so to disconnect I put it into offline mode.

Well, the good thing about the official N900/Maemo 5 announcement is that Mer will be getting a lot more eyes. I wonder what .16 and .17 have in the plans, as it seems that .15 will be getting an even more through inspection from potential users?

Vacation gives me some free time so I'm willing to add APM support for SmartQx. All I need is docs or some other info (e.g. dbus signals, hal device udi and may be something more) and battery control package name. Also support for all other unsupported devices can be added. Contact me, if it's still needed.

when I'm in mer, how can I re-order the icons in the menu??
if I go to the control panel, the device freezes and I have to hard-reboot( open the panel and remove the battery!!!)

and another question, when will be released the 0.16?? I'm very excited about this project!!!
