'''EDIT: UPDATE:''' by SimonGie 28/07/2010
 
-
 
-
This works for a network that has no encryption but will not connect to one that does.
 
-
Boot into Maemo and chroot into the Fedora install. Then yum install wpa_supplicant.
 
-
Then edit your wpa_supplicant.conf to something like this:
 
-
 
-
This config below is for two wireless networks...I have one at home and at work that I could connect to. Obviously you need to change the SSID and passkeys to your relevant info. If you only need to connect to one wlan, then leave the 2nd one off.
 
-
 
-
 
-
        ap_scan=1
 
-
        ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
 
-
        network={
 
-
        ssid="network SSID 1"
 
-
        scan_ssid=1
 
-
        proto=WPA
 
-
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
 
-
        psk="Passkey1"
 
-
        pairwise=TKIP
 
-
        group=TKIP
 
-
        }
 
-
        network={
 
-
        ssid="network SSID 2"
 
-
        scan_ssid=1
 
-
        proto=WPA
 
-
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
 
-
        psk="Passkey2"
 
-
        pairwise=TKIP
 
-
        group=TKIP
 
-
        }
 
-
 
-
 
-
Save that. Then make a little initialisation script:
 
-
 
-
        vim wlanon
 
-
 
-
Put this in the file:
 
-
 
-
        wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext
 
-
        rhclient wlan0
 
-
 
-
 
-
and save it
 
-
Then
 
-
 
-
        chmod +x wlanon
 
-
 
-
Then reboot the phone and boot into Fedora desktop
 
-
Once logged in, run the script wlanon
 
-
This should initialise the wlan card, you can check this by typing iwconfig
 
-
 
-
If you have device does not exist errors, boot into Maemo, mount the Fedora partition and delete the file
 
-
 
-
        /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
 
-
 
-
Because the wireless MAC address changes for some reason and Udev assigns it a different name. Deleting that file will make Udev redetect it as wlan0
 
-
 
-
You should now have internet access.
 
-
 
-
Do a yum install NetworkManager-gnome and let it install. When eventually you boot into the desktop, NetworkManager should start and you will be able to connect to any wireless network, regarless of wpa_supplicant.conf
 
-
 
-
If NetworkManager complains about required resources, run this command from the terminal
 
-
 
-
      gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor
 
-
 
-
NetworkManager is working flawlessly with my install.

'''UPDATE'''
 
-
 
-
I had issues updating via yum, and I had to rebuild the database. Boot into Maemo and mount and chroot the Fedora partition. Then run
 
-
      rm -f /var/lib/__db*
 
-
and then
 
-
      rpm --rebuilddb
 
-
 
-
Once it's done you should be able to run yum

Here's some scripts that I got from somewhere, i think another fedora/n900 user. :)  It is another way to disable the watchdog without having to enter R&D mode.
