Yes, this happens also to linux kernel and all software running on the tablet. Having free wi-fi driver means open possibilities to have newer systems ported to the tablet (like Android for instance) so people are not permanently stuck with ancient software on the tablet. Until now it was possible to use wi-fi on the tablet only with 2.6.16, 2.6.18 and 2.6.21 linux kernels (all quite old today) and only in specifc configurations that do not break closed wi-fi driver module.

I'm not aware of the differences between stlc4370 and the newer chips so I cannot say how much work there is needed to get the driver working in 770. Not good :-( But still, the driver talks to the firmware and so far you were shipping both (3825/3826.arm) firmwares together so I hoped they offer same API when accessed over SPI. Or do you have some special and different 3826.arm firmware now for open source driver? Or is the difference in umac.ko for 770 vs N8x0? I hope not, I think Poky people were succesfull with 2.6.18 kernel and umac.ko for N800 runing on 770. So can we take the firmware as working black box offering same functionality for both chips?

Unfortunately the garage project is closed currently, but it will be opened as soon as possible. The garage project is open now, or at least it should be. Please let me know if there are problems. Does this mean we cannot download the source code I put the source code temporarily to the webpage but in the future all releases are available from the project page: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=774 or does this mean that joining the mailing list and/or the garage project is closed? They should work now as the garage project is open. Also, since the tablets are currently using a 2.6.21 kernel, what is the recommended source tree (e.g. linux-omap) and/or version to upgrade so we can test the driver? I used stlc45xx 0.1.3 against this commit from linux-omap: commit de1121fdb899f762b9e717f44eaf3fae7c00cd3e Author: Daniel Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed Aug 27 04:31:59 2008 +0300 ARM: OMAP2: Fix definition of SGX clock register bits Also, if you are free to answer this question, what is the officiality of this project? Is this done with the blessing of Conexant? Does anyone have access to documentation or is this all done by reverse engineering? Everything is fully legal and official, no reverse engineering were done. This all was made possible by good co-operation with ST NXP Wireless. As someone said, the homepage constains a bit more information, like the link to the firmware documentation. I'll make better webpage next week. -- Kalle Valo ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

ext Andrea Grandi [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does it support packet injection :) ? I want that featur :D The best part with mac80211 design is that the driver doesn't care[1], it's up to mac80211 if packet injection works or not. I haven't tested it myself, but my understanding is that mac80211 supports packet injection now. [1] Of course the driver might have a bug which prevents packet injection, but that's just a bug. The driver itself doesn't need to be know where the transmitted packet is coming from. -- Kalle Valo ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Or is the difference in umac.ko for 770 vs N8x0? I hope not, I think Poky people were succesfull with 2.6.18 kernel and umac.ko for N800 runing on 770. So can we take the firmware as working black box offering same functionality for both chips? I can't comment on this. This is also a bit grey area for me because the documentation covers only stlc4550 and stlc4560. I don't know the legal situation with stlc4370. -- Kalle Valo ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Excellent news! our sales and marketing will love you! Heh. This release is for developers, definitely not for users. But maybe some day... of course. I am a bit of a forward thinker. :) I'm sending this from Helsinki-Vantaa airport on my way to Berlin. I will be giving a presentation about stlc45xx at the Maemo Summit on Friday 15:00.
