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

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

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