Comment(by chenna):

 I have flashed the device with Om2008.8.uImage.bin  &
 Om2008.8.rootfs.jffs2
    available at http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.8/.

 I could not find the file /etc/volatives.cache but I could find
 /etc/volatile.cache and deleted this file and rebooted. But still I see
 wIFI unknown.

 I have seen the ticket 1734 and there  I found th following info:

 I could not locate openmoko-openmoko-qtopia-x11-image-glibc-ipk--20080806
 -om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2.

 Please share the working image for WIFI, USB networking and Blue tooth.

 Please let me know the path where to download the working image for WIFI,
 USB networking and Bluetooth.

 Thankyou

 Just in the interest of completeness, I reflashed the old rootfs...

 openmoko-openmoko-qtopia-x11-image-glibc-ipk--20080806-om-
 gta02.rootfs.jffs2
 still using the 20080808 kernel.

 wifi works
 usb works
 carrier is detected.

 So I don't think it's the kernel.
 And it isn't he hardware.

 > Currently, we are digging into the wifi stuff to debug the driver.
 Om2008.8 has problems with unsecured networks as well but we could trace
 it down. I think we can fix that one soon. We move on to WEP networks now.
 We will come up with an instruction to narrow down the issue. I guess
 Werner will post it somewhere. We highly appreciate your help.
