 > Setting up a wireless connection by hand worked for me ( iwconfig eth0
 essid "MyEssid", ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.155/24, route add default gateway
 192.168.1.1, echo "nameserver ipOfDnsServer" > /etc/resolv.conf ) but
 after that the state remain 'unknow' ...

 > Mofi work for me to setup a connection

 UPDATE : mofi refuse working too ... only connection "by hand" works,
 after a connection with iwconfig, ... mofi will work but the state remain
 'unknow' in setting , i don't know if it's the same problem for that i
