I just updated my N900 and have had this problem too. I have read this far (post 53) and until now could not access the web using WI-FI.
I followed your solution below except the part where you removed vpnc and vpnc-gui. every thing works now WI-FI access, vpnc and vpnc-gui
I second the thanks of the help of the maemo community!

I removed vpnc gui and vpnc (didn't need it as I got OpenVPN to work), then went through the following steps:
1. Install 'rootsh' package
2. Open X Terminal
3. Enter 'sudo gainroot'
4. Enter 'mv /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script.dpkg-dist /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script'
rebooted, re-connected to LAN and...back in business!! Thank you Maemo community!
And regarding my fear of flashing and voiding my warranty, it was moot anyway as I've reflashed a couple of times earlier trying to get Knots2 working.
Cheers!

This should work.
DIsclaimer: I haven't tried this myself, but if you are desperate...
Code:apt-get install --reinstall -d libicd-network-ipv4 dpkg -i --force-confnew /var/cache/apt/archives/libicd-network-ipv4*
Just need to check versions... to do not install it from 51.x
If there is no old version I will try it after move to 51.x

OK finally got it working following the link.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...288#post470288
I do not think that this is a DNS issue as I tried to mod the resolv.conf with nameserver but no help.
Thanks guys. Cheers to community!!. But Nokia, this will not work if you were to reclaim iphone place. Let me check what other issues the new firmware has now :-)
Thank you all. I am planning to write a N900 review this weekend and was waiting for MFE support before doing so let me complete this over the weekend.

To fix this you should uninstall vpnc and install it again.
BTW, month ago I noted that there are two packages vpngui and vpn-gui. The last one (vpn-gui) was very buggy but vpngui work perfect. Just FYI.

I am using the openvpn and openvpn-applet packages and didn't have this problem. The creator packaged them well I'd say.
This is not a good replacement for vpnc?

So will I get the newer file by uninstalling and reinstalling the vpnc and the WI-FI will still work?

I tried openvpn at first (both on my N800 before I got the N900). the problem I had was I need a vpn client for work. the network admins will only supply a PCF file with an encryption key and the server info. I could not get openvpn to import the file so I went back to the more buggy but able to import the file provided program.

If I've helped you or you use any of my packages feel free to help me out.
