Some fixes I have found over the holidays. Mainly how to make navit work.

+== Allowing ssh acces over wlan ==
+Initially the SHR image is configured to allow ssh acces only over USB networking, not using WLAN.[[BR]]
+This behaviour can be changed by editing the file {{{/etc/default/dropbear}}} that determines at which IP address the ssh daemon ("dropbear") does listen:
+
+Replace the line
+{{{
+DROPBEAR_PORT=`ip addr list usb0 | awk 'BEGIN { FS="[ /]+" } /inet / { print  $3 }'`:22                                      
+}}}
+(ssh works only over USB) by the line
+{{
+DROPBEAR_PORT=`ip addr list eth0 | awk 'BEGIN { FS="[ /]+" } /inet / { print  $3 }'`:22                                      
+}}}
+Now ssh works only over wifi, instead. If there is a way to make them both work at the same time I don't know.
+== no gps found error ==
+After updating my phone to the shr-testing image from 12/26/2008 the gps ceased to work. This is due to the fact, that the gps daemon is for some reason at all no more started automatically. I expect the reason to go away sooner or later, but until then the gps problem can be temporarily fixed by starting the gps daemon manually:
+{{{
+fso-gpsd
+}}}
+What I don't know if my fix hinders the gps from powering down as long as it is not needed.
+
+Since starting programs from the console isn't as comfortable as it ought to be I created a rather simple quick-starter for {{{fso-gpsd}}}:[[BR]]
+Just crate a file named  {{{/usr/share/applications/gpsd.desktop}}} and fill it with the following lines:
+{{{
+[Desktop Entry]
+Encoding=UTF-8
+Name=gpsd
+Comment=GPS Navigation
+Exec=fso-gpsd
+Icon=navit.png
+Terminal=false
+Type=Application
+Categories=GTK;Applications
+MimeType=text/x-vcard;
+StartupNotify=true
+}}}
+
+== navigation using navit ==
+=== Installation ===
+navit itselves is easily installed:
+{{{
+opkg install navit
+}}}
+=== A launcher icon for navit ===
+If you want to be able to start navit from the terminal edit {{{/usr/share/applications/navit.desktop}}} and replace the following line:
+{{{
+Categories=GTK;
+}}}
+by this one:
+{{{
+Categories=GTK;Applications;
+}}}
+=== Making navit actually start up ===
+It has currently to be started from console, - but does not fire up even if some cards are installed because it cannot load the modules for GPS, card reading and speach.[[BR]]
+This can be fixed by editing {{{/usr/share/navit/navit.xml}}}, and replacing the following section:
+{{{
+    <plugins>
+        <plugin path="$NAVIT_LIBDIR/*/${NAVIT_LIBPREFIX}lib*.so" ondemand="yes" />
+        <plugin path="$NAVIT_LIBDIR/*/${NAVIT_LIBPREFIX}libbinding_dbus.so" active="no" />
+        <plugin path="$NAVIT_LIBDIR/*/${NAVIT_LIBPREFIX}libgraphics_null.so" active="no" />
+    </plugins>
+
+}}}
+by this one:
+{{{
+    <plugins>
+        <plugin path="$NAVIT_LIBDIR/*/${NAVIT_LIBPREFIX}lib*.so" ondemand="yes" />
+        <plugin path="$NAVIT_LIBDIR/*/${NAVIT_LIBPREFIX}lib*.so.0" ondemand="yes" />
+        <plugin path="$NAVIT_LIBDIR/*/${NAVIT_LIBPREFIX}libbinding_dbus.so" active="no" />
+        <plugin path="$NAVIT_LIBDIR/*/${NAVIT_LIBPREFIX}libgraphics_null.so" active="no" />
+    </plugins>
+
+}}}
+=== Maps ===
+Navigation software is useless without appropriate maps.
+
+For navit there are several options here. See the [[http://wiki.navit-project.org wiki of the navit project]] for details.
