I thought I had te same error. I updated whilst at work on my lunch break but once home I couldn't connect to my home network. I deleted it, re-booted and setup the wifi again but still no joy.... that is, until i noticed my battery was quite low. I connected the phone into my laptop to charge (note, the laptop was currently connected to my home wifi perfectly!!) and then while it was charging I tried to connect again and this time, it connected fine. Once the phone was more than half charged, I removed the USB cable, disconnected from the wifi, and then tried to connect again. It did.
I'm wondering maybe some functions are disabled if battery is just too low? If not, then maybe just an odd little issue!

Okay, per this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...288#post470288
I removed vpnc gui and vpnc (didn't need it as I got OpenVPN to work), then went through the following steps:
1. Install 'rootsh' package
2. Open X Terminal
3. Enter 'sudo gainroot'
4. Enter 'mv /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script.dpkg-dist /etc/udhcpc/libicd_network_ipv4.script'
rebooted, re-connected to LAN and...back in business!! Thank you Maemo community!
And regarding my fear of flashing and voiding my warranty, it was moot anyway as I've reflashed a couple of times earlier trying to get Knots2 working.
Cheers!

I am having the same problem. Update went fine but when try to connect to wifi which was working before is not working. Tried several othe APs same issue. Tried rebooting, removing the battery it says unable to connect one or other account. Gmail/Gtalk does not work , skype says it is online.
Other issue : When I try to restore setting to original facotry setting says enter unlock code. I did not set this int he first place. I used ATT sim in the Nokia. How in the hell this release passed. Nokia is really testing the paitence of their loyals by screwing like this.
Any solution please?

I had a wifi problem too. I thought it was just me and concluded I must have edited /etc/dnsmasq.conf and thus the upgrade didn't overwrite that file cause it had changed, but I needed the changes it seems.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40425
In a nut shell.
The N900 uses dnsmasq [why a small devices uses a DNS/DHCP server designed for servers is beyond me]
And in it's config it lists it's resolv files it uses to look up DNS servers.
So with that, let's see what dnsmasq wants to look up
Right cool. I know from experience, before the update that the /tmp/resolv* files were created when a connection was made. So let's have a look at those files, they should list an IP of your DNS server.
Hmmmm that is odd, the update has changed things...
Let's try the other file, it must using that now....
Oh dear. We have a problem Houston.
Hmmmm bugger.
Ok to fix this we need to tell dnsmasq about this.
Change the below in /etc/dnsmasq.conf from:
To:
And restart dnsmasq
Now it all should be working.
You are done. For anyone curious more about this.....
I dug around and found the culprit.
I first checked the dhcp client.
Hmm mthat looks right.
Digging further into it configs dir I found:
Which references /etc/maemo-dhcp.d/
This is the issue:
Had it been:
We would be fine, but then concurrent connections may argue over the same file and corrupt it.
So where does this come from:
Which looking at its description is a core package for the udhcp client.

I remember editing my /etc/dnsmasq.conf file, so dpkg would not have overwritten it as it was not the same file that was originally there.
I found a /etc/dnsmasq.conf.dpkg-dist file that was correct with the resolv lines.
Anyone with my issue can simply copy it over.

There seems to be a no solution to this problem as I resetted to the factory setting (BTW it still keeps the user data ) and still no change in wifi behaviour. I was not active member of the maemo community and now I became member to log this issue. Is there any maemo expert who can help on this to really enable the wireless back on this device. Thank you very much.

, ahh!!!!!)@DaveQB: I ran through the checks you walked through, and my /etc/dnsmasq.conf was good after the update and didn't need the changes you indicated, so I tried the above solution.
Just start with:
