Entering ESSID manually works fine.
Ther is one little snag; under Wireless Encryption, when entering the
passphrase (mine is exactly 8 characters) it complains that the passphrase
must be 8 characters or longer. :-)

Will the wireless LAN be activated on demand? I tried to open the web
browser, but it doesn't get contact anywhere.
(for this test, usb networking wasn't active)

Yes, it probably does.
But my goal is to get this FreeRunner usable without me having to drag a
computer along. :-)
