I got the impression that Nokia was trying to get the source for (a small select group of) us, at the cost of the community devs signing an NDA, but they were failing.
It was never going to be the source afaiu, they just wouldn't release it. I thought/hoped it would be a GPL-ified 2.6.x kernel driver binary.

I was thinking about that qole, I just don't believe I'm qualified enough (being honest) to port the source to 2.6, however I would love to give it a shot.... it's be a great learning experience.
Well 2.6.x source exists, as Nokia have used the 2.6.x binary driver in their internal development. The confusion with the 2.4.x binary is just that that's the only one we've been able to lay our hands on (so far...).
