the first time it ran, my c3100 took a very long time to start up and I thought I'd be looking at the "nightrider eye" (or is a cylon) forever!
eventually it did start, so I was pretty wowed.
I've managed to get WEP wifi up at home, didn't seem to want to connect to work's WPA access point. I had to hack /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces though, set a manual IP + mask + route as it reports bad protocol when udhcpc runs, it's still very finicky. Locked up Z, hard reset (nice there's a button in the battery compartment)
Not actually managed to use the android web browser yet, but hopefully very very soon!
--edit-- rebooted, this time the manual settings in /etc/network/interfaces worked and I could ping
www.google.com straight off.
fired up android and the browser, it reports "Page Load Suspended
No network coverage. Load will resume when network connection recovers"
--edit2-- my wireless access point is a linux box with intel 2915abg minipci card, so I can sniff the lan and do interesting stuff; when android browser fires up, I see no traffic, so it's not even trying to talk to the network. bummer. Went back to console, Z got upset, reboot time.
--edit3-- do I need to do the net.eth0.dns trick? hmm, I can use FN-left to switch back to the console, but weirdly android is still getting every key press too! Tried killing android process off, Z locks up, reset
--edit4-- aha, when the Z brings up wlan0 (ifup wlan0=home), I have to ping it from the gateway and then wlan0 works, otherwise Z can't ping the linux server. ok, I left a ping running, so know the Z is definitely online, but android cannot see the network. still no traffic on gateway. maps work, but when I scroll off the edge, I get a blank space and it pops up the no network alert.
no sound, no touchscreen either.
