yes, that is the issue. We will not incorporate a binary driver (and that includes a driver that provides source with a binary blob that gets linked inside) into Moblin. OSV's that productize Moblin or individuals can make up their own mind on the matter. > > I'm also unable to get my T-Mobile USB broadband dongle to work - I > guess that this feature just isn't in there yet?

There is a connman mailing list that can go into much more detail: http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman The other part of the equation is our network applet UI called Carrick. I'm on the hook to implement the remaining bits needed for 3G to work (specifically we need to have a 3G connection wizard), but I've pushed off that task for a couple of weeks to focus on stabilizing carrick and connman. --rusty _______________________________________________ Moblin dev Mailing List dev@moblin.org To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: http://lists.moblin.org/listinfo/dev or your user account on http://moblin.org once logged in.
