FON
From Arnout Engelen
cnacodarou Interesting: get a wireless accesspoint ('Fonera') for cheap if you agree to share it with other sharers.
The following information is for the 'Fonera' (little white device with 1 ethernet port), not the 'Fonera+'

[edit] Accessing the device over TCP/IP over the wire
- ifconfig eth1 add 169.254.255.2
- ping 169.254.255.1

[edit] Troubleshooting
Routing:
Kernel IP routing table:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.16.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 ath1 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 172.16.3.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
(I added the last line manually with 'route add default gw 172.16.3.1')
[edit] MySpace but not FON_AP
Usually means the FON cannot get an IP for the upstream internet connection (or that it overheated).
In my case, it gets its IP with dhcp:
host tigre {
hardware ethernet <ethernet-address>;
fixed-address 172.16.3.8;
option routers mintzer;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
}
the ethernet address of the device is printed on the back of the device.
