Hi Matthias, I am using these scripts with the unmodified Om 2008.9
system successfully to connect to a linksys wrt150 running wpa. The
only caveat is that the FR has a good signal when connecting. Turn on
wifi using the settings dialog first - dont select anything else. Same
with mofi etc - if you have used them, reboot first. Then you should be
able to connect/reconnect at will. It seems that some of the background
apps are reluctant to let go of the connection.

# Turn on wifi at the settings dialog first!
ifdown eth0
iwconfig eth0 txpower auto channel 1
killall wpa_supplicant
killall udhcp
wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B ;
ifup eth0
