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.
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.
