Users: Please test it. You could browse the web.

Developers: Please test it. I have no connectivity right now. If it doesn't work, fix it. If it works, extend it.

The zip contains a hacks.tex that is just needed to extend this stuff.


Usage:
  1. Copy hacks.pdf and addressbar.html to the iliad
  2. "Read" hacks.pdf to enable permanent networking. (Don't forget your Iliad is now wide open for intruders!)
  3. Use addressbar.html to begin browsing.


The addressbar was stolen from schestowitz.com. It's not by me. Credit belongs to whoever wrote it.

Please tell me if it works.

It seems that i have to revive this thread.

I tried following the instructions but i stumbled into a glitch: i cannot refresh the screen while reading the included pdf file -- the keyboard button is disabled. So i guess that means i cannot activate the wi-fi.

Is there another way to refresh the screen, or better yet another method to browse the net?
I tried R2D2's method but it didnt work either.
I forgot to mention: i have the 2.6 firmware
