[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Automatic internet connection

[From: Steven Hill]

I am new to linux development, working with the Nokia 770. I have two
related questions about internet connectivity.
1. I have followed the instructions in the tutorial to run a script
including the line
"export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libosso-ic-preload.so"
before calling the executable in the script.  But when my application
starts (this is on the actual device, not the PC simulator) and looks
for a connection which has not yet been made, the connection manager
does not start up automatically.  If I manually set up a connection
before running the application then everything proceeds with no problem.
Shouldn't the connection manager start up automatically if no connection
exists?
2. On the PC simulator rootstrap, one is supposed to install some
software using "apt-get install osso-ic-oss" to include the same
functionality as outlined above for ARM development. But when I do that,
the installer cannot find the package, and I cannot find any references
to it anywhere.  The closest I have found is a package called
"osso-ic-lib_0.35_i386.deb" but I don't know if it is the right package,
or if it is, what to do with it.

Can anyone give me some advice and guidance on these issues?
