New contributions to the open source community:
o stlc45xx.aka - the much awaited WLAN driver
More details here including link to project and source.

This is one of the best things that could happen to current tablets. It means they won't die painful death being stuck with ancient linux kernels and thus forced into quick obsolescence. Their death will be slower and happier :-)

Yeah, looked into it and it certainly helps things - the driver -does- need development though (it's not umac.ko source as you might have hoped) and there's still the closed source calibration ). It also doesn't compile with 2.6.21 directly - but will probably on later kernels.

In any case, it's a huge leap in the right direction. Now, where's my 770 implementation? ;)

Actually since the Devicescape mac80211 stack was committed to mainline kernel I was hoping it will be used for this once/if it comes. Makes perfect sense for Nokia too to ditch proprietary stack just like they did with Opera and MicroB.

Sure it can't be compiled with 2.6.21, the wi-fi stack is not there yet :-)

If I'm reading things correctly, the use of Pulse Audio should finally open the door for several sound editing/manipulation applications (and the OMAP3 means they should run effectively, not just run). Podcasting could be heading to a different level (not to mention broadcast ENG).

I'll have to read more in the coming days, but so far this looks like great news (subject to change - see store for details - your results may vary...)!

If I am reading this correctly, I did not, do not and will not understand a single word in the story or in this thread.. :D

All I have is a finger that I like to poke things (and occasionally people) with.
