    Thanks, for this app it's really useful. But lately I get following error:

    Drivers were not loaded
    any ideas?

    I believe this started when I updated from pk49 to pk50

    KP49 drivers wont work you must have the correct injection drivers for KP50 download it from here and extract it and then select the file from the applet this should work

    ./sifo

    Read the first post, they are included in this package, however one must edit the load.sh script to use the paths provided by this package:

    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    # Save mac address
    MACADDR="`ifconfig wlan0 | sed -n 's/.*HWaddr \([0-9A-Fa-f:]\+\).*/\1/p'`"
    # Unload wifi modules
    rmmod wl1251_spi 2>/dev/null
    rmmod wl1251 2>/dev/null
    rmmod wl12xx 2>/dev/null
    rmmod mac80211 2>/dev/null
    rmmod cfg80211 2>/dev/null
    rmmod rfkill_backport 2>/dev/null
    rmmod compat_firmware_class 2>/dev/null
    rmmod compat 2>/dev/null
    # Load bleeding-edge wl1251
    insmod /home/opt/lib/2.6.28.10-power50/updates/compat/compat.ko
    insmod /home/opt/lib/2.6.28.10-power50/updates/net/rfkill/rfkill_backport.ko
    insmod /home/opt/lib/2.6.28.10-power50/updates/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
    insmod /home/opt/lib/2.6.28.10-power50/updates/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
    insmod /home/opt/lib/2.6.28.10-power50/updates/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/wl1251.ko
    insmod /home/opt/lib/2.6.28.10-power50/updates/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/wl1251_spi.ko
    # Restore mac address
    ifconfig wlan0 down hw ether "$MACADDR"
    iw reg set EU
    ifconfig wlan0 up

    ...and, honestly, it's not an "app", by any means. Really.

    If I were you I would've stated what the module path is in the package description for the convenience of those who need to know where they are - not that you can't figure it out otherwise, just be faster that way.

    Oh, also, you're really awesome for finally doing this. The lack of a standardized place for these drivers, or any apt-based way to add these drivers to a device during install of something that depends on them, has been a very irritating situation. (I've been meaning to eventually do this myself, but I am a hopelessly broadly interested individual who has way too many things going on in my life at any time to actually get everything I want to get done done. This being one of those things, like almost everything else I want to do with the N900 / Maemo.) So thank you.

    As for lxp, and whether or not he wants to be the maintainer - I would e-mail him, in my experience he responds to e-mails, but doesn't necessarily pay attention to what's going on here.

    I'm still unsure about this being a significant problem. Has anyone ever tested how much power is used with one driver vs. the other?

    Last time I checked, it was sucking power like ad-hoc, when connected to AP, but idle. = quite much. I must admit, that I haven't performed any recent tests.

    Would do it right now, but I'm on ad-hoc-only network anyway ATM, so ambient conditions are not allowing me to.
