no network after upgrading

[V J]

Hello,

I recently upgraded my TyTN with the official wm6, but can no longer connect to my network. The network is a wpa2+eas, the network key is 8 characters. On the TyTN, I have tried all combinations with "networkcard connects to internet or work" and the with "network connects to internet or work".

The TyTN start connecting, but fails. For some odd reason, it also always seems to forget the wpa2-psk key, which makes me wonder if it is a problem with this...?
I have tried a soft reset, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Werid...if I set the IP address (+ subnet + gateway + dns + ...) manualy, it works. So it is not getting an ip address.

When I choose to get an ip address from DHCP, there is a read only (grey) ip address box. Oddly, this shows a number composed of 4 groups of 4 hex values. Could it be expecting to get an IPv6 address?
If so, is there a way to tell it to take a regular IP address?

I fooled around a bit more, and now it works...:)

EDIT: It doesn't anymore. :(


Any thoughts?

I think I found the issue: I also had the profile of an adhoc network. Apparently, this adhoc network uses IPv6, causing the network card to only allow IPv6 adresses. As my wifi is IPv4, the wm6 device never gets an IP number.

Removing the adhoc profile made it work. :)

I bet you try to connect to a network with hidden SSID.
This will not work as in WM5.

If so, the solution is simple. Within network definitions you have to check "connect to non visible network" or in German language:

Einstellungen -> WLAN ->Menü -> Netzwerkkarten -> "Dies ist ein ausgeblendetes Netzwerk"
