That reminds me - does the Maemo kernel support routing and does anyone know if the N900 can act as a WiFi access point?

If I can have the N900 AND carry an iPod around connected to it over WiFi, I could have the best of both worlds. I know you can do this on Windows Mobile albeit with commercial software. Linux however should be able to do it stock as long as the WiFi chipset driver supports the right mode.

Its not a deal breaker, but could be useful as you could then put the phone is the best place for reception and keep the laptop/ipod roaming, or share with several people at the same time.
