Hi,
I have installed mrxvg (wallcraft), dillo, and pieces of
unbrickable.

I have a wireless profile with wpa as the default profile to use.
I start the wireless net with the start script from the dillo
package:

Code:
root@ereader:/media/cf/Programs/connection-scripts-1/0_lan_on# cat start.sh
export scriptdir=`/usr/bin/dirname $0`
cd $scriptdir
connectionMgr --background --stay-connected
This works and I can then start dillo and surf the web

Here is the output from ifconfig:
Code:
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

I have copied dropbear and scp from unbrickable into /usr/bin.
I can start dropbear and netstat will show that it is running.
(I start from mrxvt).

A ugly problem is that it appears that the iLiad is not broadcasting
ARP info.

This means that none of the computers on my local net can "see"
the iLiad.

I have found that if I ping one of my local computers that I want
to run ssh from to connect to the iLiad that the arp table will
recognize the iLiads IP and then I can ssh to the iLiad.

I still get occasional freezes on my mac when ssh'ing to theiLiad.
Pinging the Mac from the iLiad seems to fix this problem for a while...

If I try and ifdown wlan0, ifdown reports that it is ignoring wlan0?

Trying to run scp from the iLiad gives a funky message

Code:
root@ereader:/media/cf/Programs/connection-scripts-1/0_lan_on# scp start.sh jerry@192.168.1.80:foo
/usr/bin/dbclient: No such file or directory
lost connection

Any I doing something wrong?

Jerry
