I don't entirely agree that the time spent for the ndis wrapper project was due to resistance (which was real, but the ndiswrapper main developer simply didn't care or worry about that), there were real technical issues and challenges (I was a tiny tiny tiny bit involved at one point and I followed and tested the development closely for a couple of years).

However, don't misunderstand me, I'll be the first to cheer along anyone willing to take the first step to try to do the same for Symbian drivers.

I'd say the iphone drivers would be closer, as it is a *nix-based OS.

Does it use an omap2420 though?

If we are going to spend time reversing something, it ought to be as close to what we have as possible.

hmm, I'd be more tempted by the symbian driver for an omap2420. The iPhone has a Samsung chip: http://toucharcade.com/2008/07/07/un...gaming-mettle/

It is being worked on and we will have a draft ready soon.

Could this processor be used to improve video playback as well (by doing some of the number crunching)? Or is that not likely? Because if it could be, that would make your case more compelling.
