I fully agree with this opinion of Arigead and I will put my stuff about
Wifi and GPRS/PPP which I have in my private pages and external linked
from the Wiki to these pages into the Wiki itself;

in general (and without blaming nobody) I have to say about the Wiki
that a lot of stuff there is outdated and not well maintained; it is
sometimes also not very clear if the information/hints/changes are for the newer
Om2008.[8|9] versions or for older Om2007.2 version;

btw: the last days I have moved around a lot with my FR between home,
office and a hospital, ... but without any reboot:

root at om-gta02:~# uptime
 09:31:05 up 2 days, 27 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.12, 0.25, 0.29

and when I came today morning in my office, the FR Wifi came up just
fine;
