Info: I just got my first ereader, a brand new Kobo H2O (the model with the external SD card) and have updated to the latest firmware 4.5.9587
I installed KBStartMenu_08.zip and the patch. I can get USB access.
But I still can't get wifi to work.
I can see the networks and apparently can connect.

But there is no way for me to see the IP. And the test/example scripts to wget from accuweather don't work.
It would be great for the "wifi" have an action to show the IP address. Apparently I'm connected to a known network, but the If I don't know the IP how am I supposed to connect? (I don't have access to the router right now, so unable to check devices)
So how can I telnet/ssh over wifi?

Hopefully that will be better than the constant enable/disable usb every time I want to transfer a file.
At this time I'm hammering down my user experience with Calibre, koreader and figuring out navigation and annotations... all a bit new and frustrating right now *exhales*

May I suggest updating the first post to say that the patch must be installed from nickel.
I wasn't able to get USB access until I did it from there.

Thanks in advance.
