I hope you don't mind; I've copied your call for help here: http://www.mobiliberty.com/openmoko_needs_your_help
And I submit it to a popular GNU/Linux news site. More exposure means greater chances of you finding the help you need. On a sidenote, we at MobiLiberty.com will always be here if you need to have anything relayed further. That's what we do. Have a press release, announcement, want to even host something? We're here because we want to carry the ideas behind OpenMoko as wide as possible, to the benefit of all of us. :) And btw, FSF has some info on wifi support, although some of it was already mentioned: http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/hardware.html/view?searchterm=wifi Best regards Danijel On Wed, 14 Mar 2007 00:51:00 +0800 Sean Moss-Pultz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Community, > > OpenMoko is built around the philosophy that far more knowledge exists > outside the walls of a corporation than within.
