a 20$ donation is like a few pizzas man, and this software is NOT just another game or another bowser - it will add new capabilities to your n900 no other phone (that I know of anyway) has if you are that way inclined.

lol at the entitlement attitude displayed

jsomby: He's stated that it's a stock power kernel, with the only modification being cfg80211 or whatever being compiled as a module. If it's a slightly modified power kernel, but it doesn't explicitly say it removed overclocking (a default feature of power kernel for just about ever now), chances are it hasn't. (And if that's not clear enough: No, it doesn't remove overclocking support, meaning yes, you can overclock.)

I m pretty sure its not related to this, but shortly after installing the modded driver, my phone went crazy. The touchscreen quite working, including illumination and the wifi is gone, too. At least it went back on this morning with touchscreen working, the rest is still f***** up.

Only the wireless part is probably related to installing this and on that regard, did you run the unload.sh script to return back to normal wireless usage?

edit+: also a reboot should return you back to the state before you ran the load.sh script

As a extra feature, it would be great that the wlancond you distribute can connect automatically to wpa-eap. I just make you a very small donation (sorry, injection does not make the big difference to me), but if you could add this feature (there is alredy patches for this), i would donate 20$ mores (sorry, i'm not rich).

So, basically, you'd pay 20$ for an automated WPA-EAP cracker? Or are you suggesting something else? Because in my experience no one bothers making automated stuff (though, if you literally are willing to drop 20$ for it, I'm sure someone will provide).

I believe he wants to be able to connect to an WPA-EAP network, that he already has legit credentials for.

According to forum threads here at tmo, N900 seems to be unable to do this by default

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 
No, sorry for my english, there is a "feature" (nokia says), that makes your n900 not connect automatically to wpa-eap, for example eduroam networks. I've seen that there is a modified source code of wlancond, wich fixes that. What I'm telling is: if lxp is alredy going to mantain his source and binaries with the latest kernel-power, and he is alredy distributing a modified wlancond, there would be great that he also add this feature.
My town has a wi-fi network with wpa-eap (like many universities) it would make the difference if I can walk over the town and de n900 can connect automatically to the wifi.

A reflash did not fix it. The illumination is completely gone. Though, wifi is back working. Must be an hardware issue. I guess its just a coincidence that it failed right after I installed the modded drivers.

Remove the battery and the SIM card, then reinsert them, if the LEDs work again, we can blame kernel-power's patches to lp55<some2digitnumber>

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 
Everyone who donated should now have received the download link. If someone hasn't received it yet, please tell me.
I will be a bit more unresponsive in the next few days, but I still try to send the link within 24h after donation.

Moreover here are some outstanding answers:

I am interested in this, if this can finally make my school's WPA+EAP (PEAP) connection stable, and able to autoconnect just like my other wifi access points.
You will most likely see no improvement. I am successfully using WPA EAP (PEAP) with the eduroam network at my university, but I am not using autoconnect. If I remember correctly it also worked with the stock wl12xx driver without any problems.
This driver will most likely only be useful if you want to use software like aircrack-ng or similar. Surely you can give it a try, it is possible that it works better since it uses a newer wifi stack than the stock wl12xx. Nevertheless I can't promise anything, since it is not as much tested as the stock wl12xx, it would be more likely that you run into some bugs.

I don't know yet. It is possible that I may release the binaries after some time for free. This mostly depends on how the whole thing will continue. How fast we get a compat-wireless Maemo package, ...
The patches will be freely available soon. I already talked to some Meego ARM developers and sent them the patches for review and testing. Moreover I sent them to Kalle Valo (the wl1251 maintainer) for a first review and recommendations for posting on linux-wireless. I am waiting for his response now.

I will look into that, but I am not very happy with my current osso-wlan (wlancond) package, as it breaks some dependencies.
I will most likely distribute a replacement wlancond executable alone instead of a package in the future. Moreover I have to post my patch on the Maemo bugtracker, so it will hopefully be included in the next firmware version.
Regarding your problem: If it helps you and isn't too much effort I will compile a wlancond with your mentioned patch applied and distribute it freely.

You can use the same solution for this as the modded hildon-desktop packages use, just use the exact same version number as the official package, but you'll have to instruct uses to pin the package so it isn't automatically "upgraded" back to the official version.

That's a bit of a dick move, Alex.
All this does is to ensure that lxp loses any further incentive to debug/test/enhance these drivers. Well done!

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 
Modifications to GPL code need to be GPL'd in turn. So I don't believe it's illegal. Just immoral
Edit: OK I guess it's not immoral as matan points out. More like inevitable, I guess

Your morals seem to be extremely bent. Are you a lawyer?

The uncompressed kernel source is about 400MB of it lxp's work is at most about 80KB. The idea that this morally entitles him to control distribution in direct opposite of the will of the writers of 99.98% of the common work is too ridiculous to even consider.

He has every right in the world to ask for money. He has every right in the world to decide to whom to distribute this work. He has absolutely no moral or legal right to tell the people who already got a copy not to further distribute it.

BTW, the files seem to be here:

just thing is that patches are not touching gpl code and therefore are not gpled yet - only when you apply them onto kernel or something then thing is gpled - alex uploaded code that's not gpled ( and gpled parts as well ) so he broke the law

thegman 2011-01-01 18:56
Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 
Well. in his defence, lxp, did release the source & patches (as he is legally required to do). He's also never tried to tell people not to distribute it (unless I missed something)

I guess 'immoral' is a bit of a strong word.
I just thought that it would be a show of good faith not to post direct links to the binaries (although I would like the changes rolled into the next release of titan's kernel)

This isn't an issue with the driver, but I've just it wanted to test monitor mode/injection. So I installed aircrack and ran airmon-ng start wlan0, which complained about needing iw installed.
Yet 'apt-get install iw' removes aircrack and vice versa, wtf?

Matan: Yes, i looked at patches, nothing in patches states that it's GPLed.
There are other files included like already patched kernel sources - these are gpled - but alex uploaded the whole thing, including part that may not be GPL licensed (they may as well be, but there is no solid evidence that) .
alexystems: fix your capslock, learn to spell, then learn copyright law (any work is automatically protected by copyright law and original author is only person that has right to distribute it, unless stated otherwise), it's not yours you are merely allowed to use it yourself, or transfer that right to another person. - you could have diffed included gpled source code ( kernel ) and that would create GPLed patches, but that still wouldn't change that it was dick move.

If you looked at the patch files, and you are capable of reading, two assumptions which I am willing to make, despite evidence to the contrary, you must have noted that they contain quite a few lines copied directly from the wl1251 driver released as GPL, therefore they cannot be distributed legally, except if they are licensed under the GPL.

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 
Copyright law is pretty much same all across the Europe.
About your spelling - every single modern browser has spell check built in or has plugins available - it really helps to use them.
Author of these patches had to spend time making them instead of his normal summer job, pays for hosting and had plans to develop them further - so instead of getting some money from summer job he pays for hosting and all he gets is you calling him "selfish bastard".
So, now instead of some other features ( like mentioned eduroam support and other things ) community will get nothing, because i doubt anybody will be willing to develop it further just to be called "selfish bastard", developers deserve to get paid, and he was asking for *any* donation.
