Devuan?
 
Are my eyes fooled, or is there a N900 install image for Devuan?

Has anybody used it? What's it like? How hard is it to install?

yes there is :)
it works pretty well. command line only for now, as far as i know. i've not had the time to play with it yet. if you want more info, join IRC - freenode/#maemo and ask

I see N900 image in Devuan downloads but don't know how to use this. Search in irc log not contain answer.
Is it using like Easy-debian?

no. you need to boot into it instead of maemo. you can either use uboot to do this, or load the kernel via flasher

for u-boot select u-boot console then type run sdboot.
username/password: root/toor

I couldnot get wifi too work, despite copying wl1251-fw.bin and wl1251-nvs.bin to /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity, i cant connect to my network.

Device shows up, syslog messages are
wl1251: loaded
wl1251: initialized

"iwlist wlan0 scan" lists all networks

i set up /etc/network/interfaces
ifup wlan0

dhcp forever, iwconfig no values set..

ESSID: off/any
AP: Not-Associated

dmesg:
wl1251: firmware booted (Rev 4.0.4.3.7)

I tried to create a script setting some values like (ESSID) via iwconfig (which seems to work), but failed to connect.

(It is the same in my wickets 4.1 config, maybe i should try conman)

Maybe someone has already found a way to get it work?

I had xfce installed, and for sure it worked from wicd, though I had to change some setting to make it use something newer (sorry, can't remember now what it was :) ).

What definitely works from console is wpa_supplicant, though iirc you should use nl80211 driver, not wext. Could be the same that had to be changed in wicd.

Re: Devuan?
 
nice!

nl80211 is working for me, dispite errormsg
rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device

(-Dwext not)

for completeness:

wpa_passphrase MYSSID passphrase > /etc/wpa_supplicant/example.conf

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -Dnl80211 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/example.conf

dhclient wlan0
