Pl help.

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

okay so for those who want to use cleven with KP50 do the following(until Saturn updates his app) :

1)download the bleeding-edge wifi driver build for kernel-power v50 from here
2)Extract the files to /opt/cleven/compat-wireless/

bam! you are done! :D
Note that cleven will still show you the warning about not compatible kernel.Just ignore that message.
Hope this helps...

copy the tar file in /home/user/ directory. and then cd /home/user. then untar it

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

it says i dont have permission!

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

because MyDocs folder is FAT which does not support ownership flags.
untar to /home/user folder like posted previously.

Or he could just refrain from opening up a root shell, which was ALSO posted previously.

Hi

Thanks for posting. I am on KP50 and I do want to run cleven having used it on previous versions of KP.

I've follows the instructions and several versions of extracting the drivers but I am still getting the error messages and it won't scan for networks..

I am sure I have missed something basic

here is what I did

downloaded to my docs - extracted - same problem kernal no scan etc

then copied the tar to root extracted and moved files to opt/cleven/compat-wireless/ as per different post

still no joy. reread tons various posts

uninstalled and reinstalled cleven.
Installed Cleven experimental incase of other options.

what else should I have done? Did I miss something?

Cheers
