Anyway, I figured a working but dodgy way to get it working.<br><br> Firstly you have to setup the wireless connection at the usual GUI<br>configuration. Make sure this works.<br><br> Then I have a script that runs:
<br><br> dbus-send --type=method_call --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:${IAP} uint32:0<br><br> where $IAP is the identifier (name) of the wireless connection you've<br>setup in the GUI config.
</blockquote><div><br>Good way! <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> What's even worse is, I have to run that command line every 5
<br>seconds or so (I put it in the script in a while loop to run that and<br>then sleep 5), as the connection daemon seems to disconnect<br>automatically. I think it disconnects if there's no application using<br>the N770 framework/lib to make network connections. So if I have some
<br>custom software that uses the network it won't help either.</blockquote><div><br>Did you specify an option in the connection manager do not break WLAN connection never? Maybe it may help to resolve this problem.<br>
