Undocumented WPA support with iLiad 2.9 firmware - how to enable it
Our friend Matthijs from iRex posted a quick hack which allows you to enable WPA encryption. Although there is no GUI for it yet, you can enable WPA yourself if you have the latest iLiad firmware 2.9 and the shell execution script installed, by using the following command line:

Code:
wireless.sh start MY_WPA_SSID wpa "Very secret passphrase"
Encrypting your WiFi connection with WPA is highly recommended if you don't want your neighbor to sniff out your surfing habits.

Stupid question of the day:

What do I need to have installed to get to a command line?
So far, I've only used my shell hack for dillo and gnuchess ...

Oh-kayyy ... I am just not getting the hang of this Linux stuff ... damn ...

...installed minimo, tried to run it, didn't work.
Also, all other shell hack apps (dillo, gnuchess) have stopped working now.
Everything else seems to be fine. Deleted everything, copied everything again - still not working. Any ideas as to what happened there?

The calculator, the terminal and dropbear (ssh server) still works... but the rest seems to have been broken

dillo does work too, but you have to copy "libXp.so.6"
