Re: [Gumstix-users] Overo Air cannot connect to existing wireless network or ad-hoc network

[J. L. <vwy...@gm...>]

I would start looking on google for your Nokia, seems as though there

reading the Nokia does not connect to all ad-hoc networks, and has
this issue for a bit. Also read its insanely power hungry in that mode
and most recomended avoiding it .
