Hi Tim and all,

with the mail from Tim quoted below I think we have enough technical
information to ask this issue to the developer list. Hopefully there is
someone who can help us. Sorry for that crossposting, but I think we've
left the user level in our evaluation. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
Good point, Tim, you came one step further than me. Additionally I
found out one thing: If you configure the FritzBox to use one (1) IP
network address for all interfaces (usb, LAN, WLAN), then the
connection with the N770 works. So I first thought that there is
something wrong with the Fritzbox. But after further evaluation I am
quite sure that bug is at the Nokia 770 side. This is, what I found
out:
The Nokia 770 netstat -r gives:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window
irtt Iface
192.168.182.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 wlan0
default 192.168.182.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
0 wlan0
Another Linux PC, which is working fine in the WLAN gives:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window
irtt Iface
192.168.182.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 ath0
default fritz.fonwlan.b 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
0 ath0
(fritz.fonwlan.b seems to be the resolved name of the fritzbox IP
192.168.182.2). The ifconfig-settings are also identical at Nokia and
PC. But the statistics in the Nokia shows:
RX packets:64 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:5 errors:46 dropped:2 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
Thats what I see - the N770 can't transmit any data. From the router
side I can ping the PC and get answers. If I ping the Nokia, nothing
returns, but the Rx Counter goes up.
Further information in the mail quoted below:

Hi all,
Lucky me I am one of the nokia770 owners. I am quite impressed by this
piece of hardware - only I have a real bad problem:
As some others (first and second), I have problems connecting to the
Internet via my FritzBoxFon WLAN (a DSLmodem/router). I.e., after
connection to the router the nokia 770 will not send any packets to the
router (while obviously receiving packets). Pinging the router will
not succeed (no packs sent), though i can ping a notebook connected to
the same WLAN.
one lead i have, though, is, that dmesg says
sm_drv_transmit: sm_frame_tx returned error -10
After searching the web for the code in question (obviously part of the
prism wlan drivers, see XH8196--devo--0--patch-10/module/sm_drv.c).
The value -10 is returned by a call to
prism_softmac_frame_tx()
and seems to be the #define of SM_EDSTUNKN (destination unknown??! See
(XH8196--devo--0--patch-10/umac/softmac2.h).
I don't know where i can find the definition of
prism_softmac_frame_tx(), maybe only available as part of the firmware
(in umac/).
has anybody a clue what could be the problem with the connection if
such an error occurs?
greets,
