OK, this weekend I've been hacking away at cx3110x (bundyo's patches) on top of 2.6.28-omap1 on 770. If you put in umac.ko from initfs along with instructions in http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/po...cx3110x_1.1.bb and force some flags to make it ARM (non-EABI) with -mfpu=fpa , it will generate you a fresh umac.ko for a new kernel.

My experiments have brought me the following cx3110x: http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/cx311...tskeeps.tar.gz which loads and inserts fine along with umac.ko, but it fails to do ifconfig wlan0 up (stalls). Maybe it is possible to bring 770 up to par with n800s in terms of 2.6.21 kernel, but this code base is where the road ends for "newer kernels on 770 with wifi working" for me

If anyone is up for taking up the challenge they are more than welcome. I had to build a kernel with CONFIG_SLAB instead of CONFIG_SLUB to get umac.ko to link in properly.
