I am successfully using WiFi on my Onet+, but this requires me to do
the following after boot up:
1. Run the wireless-lan utility from the Internet tab (or run /bin/
wireless-lan from the command line)
2. Explicitly connect to my SMC router from the list of networks
shown.
Has anybody got the "Preferred Network" conection to work for them,
i.e. do you connect automatically to your preferred wifi router when
running wireless-lan, as I cannot?
Also I would like the whole process of the wifi connection to be done
automatically at boot time. I can see that the driver (zd1211b) is
loaded using lsmod, but the device eth1 does not exist until you run /
bin/wireless-lan. If I try to run modprobe then I get the message
"cannot parse modules.dep". Without eth1 being there I cannot try and
script iwconfig to set up the connection.

Hi DesA,
My Trendtac (about the same as Elonex but in the Netherlands) connects automatically everytime I start up the laptop. Mind though: it takes between 10 and 20 seconds after the desktop appears that the WiFi symbol turns orange and I can use the link.
I remember installing a Wifi patch from Trendtac which also enables better wireless key options (Ascii). The patch is still on my temporary webspace: http://www.xs4all.nl/~jostht/epc/
