Yeah, exactly that was my suggestion/idea. Laasonen said he would look into it but no news as of now. :)

1. Install the Wlan Driver Selector Applet from Extras-Testing repo

2. Select the applet on your desktop applet bar (with clock, battery, profile etc)

3. Select the option to download the file

4. MicroB browser will open and you have the option to select location for the download (choose "Nokia N900" if you want it in ~/MyDocs)

5. Extract the wl1251-maemo-0.1.tar.gz file (~140MB) to /home/user/MyDocs

in X-Terminal:

Code:
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs
tar -zxvf wl1251-maemo-0.1.tar.gz
6. Re-select the applet and point to the location of the driver:

MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless.

I wouldn't do that. It wastes over 140MB of space from MyDocs and of course time, if you only want the drivers. And why would you need root's permissions for extracting something to MyDocs?
Better way:
Code:
cd MyDocs #Assuming you are in your home dir, otherwise cd ~/MyDocs
tar zxvf wl1251-maemo-0.1.tar.gz --strip 2 wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/
And then select MyDocs/compat-wireless from the applet.

I have been having some trouble, bricked my phone and had trouble with couple bugs, but the 0.2.0 is now in extras-devel.

Biggest improvements are download wizard which downloads/installs the drivers with couple clicks and possibility to shut down wlan completely. There are also couple other improvements.

Hi laasonen, can I suggest the text next to the wifi logo say "Stock" or "Bleeding Edge" as it can be rather confusing to know which driver is running. As for the on/off button, instead of the current icon, use a wifi image with and without a slash across it to indicate it's status... other than that, I simply love your app... :)
