Hi, A bit of a dirty trick, but have you tried loading umac.ko in a hex editor and changing the string vermagic=2.6.21-omap1? I managed to recompile cx3110x against my preempt kernel by using the mamona patch for cx3110x and a dummy_umac.c file from 0.8.1 + binary_umac.o (renamed umac.ko from my initfs) Regards, Faheem On Sun, Aug 17, 2008 at 2:27 AM, Gregoire Gentil [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Hello, I'm experimenting with 2.6.26 on N810.

I also would like you to be able to modify the source code, no doubt about that. I'm a strong supporter of Open Source and I'm certain that having an open WLAN driver would benefit both the community and Nokia. But as life in general, things are not that simple. It's not that we just need to decide that we will have an open driver. There are various aspects and requirements involved, and all them need to solved before an open driver would be reality. So in this case can't we just get the full data sheet for the chip and we're off to the races. Program it to do anything we need. Third party manu. so I'm assuming the full data sheet is not top secret...? Only public data sheet I'm aware of is here: http://www.st.com/stonline/products/literature/bd/12063/stlc4550.htm But that's not going to help you at all. If we could publish a complete data sheet of the WLAN chip in Nokia tablets, we would have done that a long time ago. Heck, I would have even written the driver on my free time if that would have been possible. The problems here are not technical, but something else. -- Kalle Valo ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Wireless devices employ a HAL (hardware abstraction layer) that is meant to restrict people from doing un-regulated things with the chip. People like the FCC require some level of assurance that the distributor is not providing hardware that can be used outside its tested parameters.
