To tell if an application is installed:

1. From Faster Application Manager's main menu, choose the option to "Remove" an application.
2. If the app is listed there, it means it was installed (since it is listed as one of the apps that can be removed).

I mean, does the device boot if I replace the originals ones from ck-v50 and reboot ?

A++
Never tried that, so NFC. What would we gain if we use bleeding-edge instead of stock?

Reboot on ad-hoc and injection capabilities ;)

I hope I can post an updated load.sh + unload.sh script at the end of the day...

+ lack of power-saving features, when connected to AP but not transferring data ;)

Hi freemangordon,

FYI, last version of cleven is depending to this package:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=590

Unfortunately, I don't see a way to make it work for the past version of KP, but I tried to program it in somehow dynamic way that will be able to work with your future updates too.

In specific, I get the KP version number with "uname -r" and feed this to the call that loads the drivers.

For example, now the call would return: 2.6.28.10-power50
therefore the path for the drivers will be /opt/lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power50/

If anyone needs more information or see anything wrong in the above, let me know.
For the moment, it seems to work great.

Cheers

Is it only 300 kb indeed?

The w1251 drivers are over 400 mb. Must I have that package and the one from this thread?

@cocegas
you dont need the source code just download the drivers to MyDocs then select the file from the applet

./sifo
