[maemo-users] WiFi borked after update

[From: Denis Dimick]

While I'm not sure I'm in Red Pill Mode, I did my update from the command
line over SSH; a really STUPID ting to do.

I did reboot my system last night after doing the upgrade on Sat, and all of
a sudden everything looks like it works. There where a number of 3rd party
apps that needed to be upgraded, but everything is now working fine.


Thanks,

Denis
