Right now I'm trying to configure it as a wireless bridge, but I need to compile the right kernel modules for that - and it's hard enough to find this rather dated kernel source _and_ matching scratchbox.
It seems that spock already created the "n770 WSOD edition" that min and fpp mention, and this would indeed be what I need.

spock128, do you think you'd be able to publish instructions for your custom firmware? Assuming that this is a new rootfs, it probably would have to be a set of replacement files against a base rootfs (which cannot be distributed on its own).

Using VNC would of course make it easy to get WLAN up and running.
