Hello All,
I was going to try and connect my FR to my laptop with an ad-hoc
wifi connection but being as I've never even connected to infrastructure
I decided that I'd start there. I followed the instructions in the wiki
[1] but got some strange results:
ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
WPA: Configuring Interface

It appears that I get offered an address by the DHCP server on the wifi
but that it's not being used by eth0 for some reason. Is this a know
issue. To be honest I've never tried to use the wifi part of the phone
before and the wiki might be outdated, even for infrastructure mode?
Cheers for any help that anybody has time to offer.
