To summarise:

Using:

   wlan-trial-20090206.uImage
   openmoko-fso-image-glibc-ipk--20090202-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2

Booted using:

   u-boot USB console
   setenv bootcmd setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base} \${mtdparts}\; nand 
read.e 0x32000000 kernel 0x300000\; bootm 0x32000000
   saveenv
   boot

I then setup wireless networking and run my script for testing LAN 
connection - it has now been running for nearly 26 hours! (and is still 
going) - about 10 hours longer than the previous record!

The question is was this just a lucky test or is there a significant 
difference between kernels:

   wlan-trial-20090206.uImage

and FSO M5:

uImage-2.6.28-oe1+gitr34240a1c06ae36180dee695aa25bbae869b2aa26-r3-om-gta02.bin

that is allowing the much improved uptime?

Regards,

Phil.
