Debian / Htc Universal

Wow, I _love_ it. I think a distro for the Universal would be great. I just need to get WLAN working ( with WPA ) to be able to use it. But installing was really easy. Very well done. Could you point me in the direction of some howtos on how to get the UI, the phoneUI and WLAN working?

I've just started using Titchy Mobile too.  There are some packages listed on the Titchy Mobile homepage that aren't installed by default.  These can be installed by running "apt-get install package-name" (having first set up the USB network per the instructions on the Titchy Mobile homepage).

To get WPA working, you'll need to apt-get install wpasupplicant, then follow one of the many howtos (I used this one as a rough guide, though it's not targeted at Debian).  I've got problems with mine at the moment, which look like they're due to the fact that I hide my SSID - it seems the scan setting in the config file may need to be commented out or removed.  You'll also find (I think) that you need to set -Dmadwifi rather than -Dndiswrapper in the wpa_supplicant command line.

I was testing out my wpa_supplicant config by running "wpa_supplicant -dd -Dmadwifi -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" - that'll spew debug to the console and allow you to see what's going on.

If you get your WPA connection working before I fix mine, do let me know how!
