Hope someone can please advise....
Installed ShiroiKuma's rootfs yesterday and overall is working well.
Only thing is that I need to use WiFi to connect it to internet.
Realized that 'wireless-tools' package is not included in rootfs....
Have tried unsuccessfully several times to get HTC Uni connected to net via my laptop (debian). I did manage to get connected in previous install attempt ...
Have re-read the previous posts on this thread about this issue and has not helped this time..
Can't figure out why, but this time I can't get connected nor can I even ping my laptop from my HTC or vice-versa. Always get 'host unreachable' error message.
The other error message I get periodically now on my laptop is:
CODE
usb0: kevent0 may have been dropped
usb0: kevent1 may have been dropped
So, wondering either
A) What to do get USB Networking working?
or

Is there a simple way to download a 'wireless-tools' package with all the related files so that I can then copy it over to my SD card, put SD in HTC and install from there?
or
C) Can we get a rootfs with the wireless-tools in it so that we don't have to go through all this to get on internet??
or
??
Thanks for any and all help!

post me the results of the command ifconfig on your pc and on your universal

Thanks for your help, Cagnulein!
Here's 'ifconfig -a' from my laptop:

**Please note that I've connected a little USB mini-hub (AC powered) to my laptop USB port and then connected a USB ethernet device to the hub and a USB cable from the hub to my HTC Universal. Also, I used 'eth2' when setting up USB networking on the laptop.
On my HTC Universal I get the following in 'ifconfig -a':

Still can't get ping to work when I do this from my HTC:
CODE
# ping -c 4 192.168.3.1
PING 192.168.3.1 (192.168.3.1) 56(84) bytes of data
From 192.168.3.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host unreachable
.....
Also, would like to make sure that I'm putting the right nameserver address in '/etc/resolv.conf'.
At home I connect my laptop via ethernet to my network. I use a combo DSL modem/WiFi/Router unit to connect to my DSL line and to my computers.
So, which address should I be entering in '/etc/resolv.conf'?
Here's some possible choices from my DSL Modem unit configuration page:
CONNECTION INFORMATION:
IP Address: 66.245.x.xxx
Default Gateway: 66.245.x.x
Primary DNS: 207.69.xxx.xxx
Secondary DNS: 207.69.xxx.xxx
LOCAL NETWORK:
LAN IP Address: 192.168.x.x
DHCP: Enabled
DHCP Range 192.168.x.x -
192.168.x.xxx
Ethernet Connected
Just don't understand why I was able to get this working before when I installed Debian using Titchy....unless something happened in the meantime on my laptop that changed something or ???
Thanks for any and all help!
