Have you manage to upgrade the kernel to include the new wireless drivers?

We're on 2.6.35 in MeeGo. And don't even bother trying to backport it to run Fremantle, things have moved too much on in kernel interfaces.

So you think it is better to flash my N900 with MeeGo. But then do I have a graphical user interface? Any link to start with?

And which one do I have to install the opensource or the closed for nokia? Do both support wifi?

What interfaces have changed too much, can you give any details?

Yes, we have UI. http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/Install/MMC and http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1...t-armv7l-n900/

We don't distinguish between open or closed anymore. All our blobs are redistributable.

We don't have /proc/bootreason, for starters, different kernel interfaces which BME uses, different kernel sources for GPU driver.. Camera architecture is also different.

Have you tried the iw command in stead of the iwconfig? The difference is the netlink support in mac80211 which was not enabled in 2.6.28

Following your advice I have installed meego. It looks nice but it is toooooo slow on my N900, is it normal?

Besides that, is there any crosscompilation environment like scratchbox?

Re: Linux Kernel Update N900
 
I have compiled kernel 2.6.28 and compat-wireless for the n900, but still i'm not able to get it working.

I have seen in meego that they use wl1251_spi driver, so after compiling and installing I have uploaded this module on the maemo-n900. The result is ... no wlan interface is outhere.

The modules are up and dmesg doesn't display anything strange.

Any idea? I was thinking on coping directly the modules from meego, but as they are from a different kernel version they are not gonna work.

Help is welcome ;)

CU and TA
