Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) - UPDATED 20071217

[mikeep]

Hi. I am a new user, but have flashing my firmware for a while now. I noticed that after I installed this fimware, my wifi connectivity stopped working for WPA secured networks. It works fine for WEP and unsecured networks but it just can't connect to a WPA secured network. It sometimes shows "Available" so I try to connect then and still no success-most of the time though it says "Unavailable." Any ideas to how to fix this? I am hoping it might just be a registry tweak... Oh and I am using "Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) - UPDATED 20071217" on an XV6700, Verizon Wireless. Thanks in advance

This may be a shot in the dark but there is a .cab file which addresses this
issue, details http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9298.

The file is WM6 WPA-PSK fix.cab.

I have seen elsewhere that you must also enable TKIP as well as WPA-PSK on your router....

Please note I have not personally tried this but it is probably worth a look!

After installation, I expect the phone to run a bunch of Verizon specific programs. That is what happened the last time I used the older version of the Kitchen. When I tried it with the latest version of the kitchen, the phone no longer runs through that type of customization. I have selected Verizon in the drop down before I build the image. I am afraid to transfer service to this phone because I am not sure it will work. Is this something new, or am I doing anything wrong?

thanks

gorb,
You're probably not doing anything wrong.
The verizon customizations are built into the rom (assuming you picked Verizon where necessary in the kitchen), so there is no need to run them from the extended rom. The autorun that you are used to seeing has been removed from the latest versions of the kitchen to avoid the conflicts that happen when the customizations are allowed to run on top of the ones already built into the rom.
Good luck, tmb
