if you use encrypted wifi, make sure you have the needed modules for
your kernel, that's beyond qtopia itself.

At first, make sure you have the following file present on your phone
(it should be automatically generated):
/home/root/Settings/Network/wireless/eth0
The content of that file should contain something like this for an
open network:
WIRELESS_MODE='Managed'
WIRELESS_ESSID="my_network_SID_name"
WIRELESS_AP=""
WIRELESS_BITRATE='auto'
WIRELESS_CHANNEL=''
WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH='128'
WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE=NONE
WIRELESS_WEP_PHRASE=""
WIRELESS_KEY_0=
WIRELESS_KEY_1=
WIRELESS_KEY_2=
WIRELESS_KEY_3=
Also the file /home/root/Settings/Network/eth0 should exist with the
content
MODE=dhcp
The script that initializes the wireless is
at /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin/lan-network and creates a log
in /tmp/qtopia-network.log.
By default the usb0 interface on the phone gets disabled when you
connect the wireless, but if you comment out the line "ifdown usb0" in
the lan-network script, you can stay connected to your phone via pc-usb
while trying to connect to the wireless. When doing this, you can see
if the dhcp client runs or not ...
Also very important: what kernel are you using?

I've never gotten gps to work, no matter which distro I tried, so for
now, I accept this.
