It would be more of a mistake to have the device delayed for developers
for another 3-6 months because they can't get the system to work because
it's too complicated with two different types of microwave coming into
the same device. My suspicion is that you would be complaining about
that too,

Marvel 8385 can be connected to SDIO, CF, SPI and it is one of chips you
are talking about.
They are completely closed because they are very intimate with the
chipsets they are using. In fact the chipsets are specifically designed
for the company that builds the phone. While you can buy something with
the same core, typically you can't buy the chips that are actually in

Interesting, then I wonder why all these projects are cropping up now?
Linux 2.6 maybe? 90nm? Batteries?

There is an IETF group (BOF?) looking into this. 802.11k and v are also
trying to provide some solutions, but they are uncoordinated as far as I
know. IMHO it needs to be an IETF solution because of the converged

Yes, but for VoIP I believe it is still in flux. There is an especially
nasty issue with encryption and 802.11 with the way the standard is
described because it assumes you are already on the network. However
with 802.1x based systems you need to be authenticated. As far as I

OK, now I was the perpetrator of imprecise language. How do the two

I don't know much about the intel one except that I wouldn't be
surprised it downloaded the firmware into the chipset. I Broadcom also
does this as well as TI. There is an opensource version of the TI driver.
Getting attention from a Chipset manufacturer is another story.

I don't see what plan you should be getting has anything really to do
with Openmoko, other than helpful people relaying their experiences with

Regardless of what phone you get you still have to navigate through the

They are all funky in this regard. Having worked for a chip company

way the architecture went, as I think I said before, is that more

I did some research on Nanoradio for my employer. They have very good

Hello,

The Prism is not getting much traction in the market. The company has
been bounced around from owner to owner. I would think that using the
prism in a design would be very risky because the chip may not be around
for the life of the product.

I just briefly took a look at the chip, and yes this does look
different. They are doing what Marvell is doing, and what TI did, by
finally embedding a controller on the device side. How much of the MAC
