or v1.0.2 can not be directly installed It is always required to install v1.0.0 first, then update to v1.0.1 and v1.0.2 orderly from the MeeGo
environment. From v1.0.0 to v1.0.1, wired internet connection is required.

Network †

Configuration of network has been changed. DNS is newly added to the network setting.

IP Address
Subnet Mask
Router:
DNS:

• Ether
  • DHCP
    Make the netbook to access the sites by the network as fill in IP Address of DNS server at DNS.
    
  • Static IP
    Establish the network as provide IP Address of DNS server and IP Address of Gateway to the router.
    

• Wifi
  

  As MeeGo is installed or updated, it does not contain the wifi driver at the default settings. Open up Terminal, and install
  various tools for building the executable rpm. Download the the packages for wifi, and build the rpm with the tools. Then,
  install the wifi rpm.
  

  $ sudo yum install rpmdevtools
  $ sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
  $ sudo yum install kernel-netbook-devel
  $ wget http://slaine.org/moblin/releases/2.1/ia32/source/wl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.moblin.src.rpm
  $ rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i586 wl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.moblin.src.rpm
  $ sudo rpm -ivh ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/wl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.meego.i586.rpm

  For further details of the instructions, please visit this page.
  

• DHCP
  Wifi DHCP connection does not require the same type of settings as Ether is needed.
  
• Static IP
  To establish wifi connection with Fixed IP, fill in only DNS section.
  Either connection needs to set up IP Address of Gateway to router, wifi connection does not require such setting.
  

Others †

MeeGo v1.0.2 Netbook Update †

• kernel version
  kernel has a minor update.

[beat@beat-desktop ~]$ uname -a
Linux beat-desktop 2.6.33.5-24.1-netbook #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 14 07:48:33 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Network †

• Wifi
  

  When MeeGo is updated to v1.0.2, the wifi function is neglected. To regain the wifi capability, make rpm adjust to the new
  kernel, then build it and install it to the netbook.
  

  $ sudo yum install kernel-netbook-devel

  rebuild wl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.moblin.src.rpm, which is used for v1.0.1.
  If this is the first time to apply this porocess or do not havewl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.moblin.src.rpm, obtain the rpm.

  $ wget http://slaine.org/moblin/releases/2.1/ia32/source/wl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.moblin.src.rpm

  
  Apply to the same manner as initially wifi function is added to v1.0.1, (re)build and install rpm.

  $ rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i586 wl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.moblin.src.rpm
  $ sudo rpm -ivh --replacepkgs ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/wl-kmod-5.60.48.36-1.meego.i586.rpm

  db of rpm is rebuild.
  

  $ sudo rpm --rebuilddb
  $ sudo reboot

  Then, finally wifi can be recognized.
