Thank you Andrei,
I don't know what I need. I will be able to browse the web and to send
and receive emails, to sync the iPad and to use the WiFi-MIDI-thingy for
Linux and the iPad.
When the connection failed using nm, somebody mentioned it could be the
fault of the iPad 2 and indeed it's known as not working good using
Wifi.
If possible, I'll try to fix the network issue today. From yesterday
until now I had to fight odd Apple idiocy. I couldn't solve this Apple
issue, but anyway will delay solving this and continue getting the
network connection established.
Regards,
Ralf
