Add repositories by installing repository packages

> echo "arch community-repos 50" > community-repos.conf
> echo "src community-repos http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/" >> community-repos.conf
  • Connect to your Neo with USB
> sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200
> scp community-repos.conf root@192.168.0.202:/etc/opkg/
  • Let your Neo connect to the Internet
    • For USB users:
> ssh root@192.168.0.202
> echo 1 | sudo tee  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
> sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
> scp /etc/resolv.conf root@192.168.0.202:/etc/
    • For geek users:
> ssh root@192.168.0.202
> iwlist eth0 scan
Find a usable AP lets say OpenMind (Support it's an open AP)
> iwconfig eth0 essid OpenMind
> udhcpc eth0
Then pray, if successfull, remove default gw *twice*.
> route -n  # to see your gateway of eth0 say 192.168.1.1
> route del default
> route del default
> route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
Then you can ping wiki.openmoko.org for testing :)
