Hi guys,

great work! Many thanks for your effort!

I just tried it out and would like to share my experience:
  • The installation worked without any problems
  • When starting the backend, I get DBUS-errors for icd and icd2:
    Code:
    ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.79:/com/nokia/icd: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unsupported interface or method
    (and the same for icd2). But the WLAN is available nevertheless…
  • My N900 rebooted once, some 10 seconds after I started the backend the first time. I wasn't paying attention at that moment, so I'm not sure why. After that, no more reboots when starting the backend.
  • When connecting to the network with another device, I experienced the problem that *sometimes* the DNS did not work… Sometimes I had to give a manual DNS (had to try several servers), sometimes it worked with autoassigning…

And then, some questions:
  • Is it possible to connect multiple devices at the same time? The network shows up as ad-hoc, but apparently I was able to connect with two devices at the same time (but with DNS-problems, so I'm not 100% sure about it…)
  • What changes are made in the custom kernel, apart from NAT-stuff and framebuffer? Is it likely that some functionality of the original kernel is missing or that power-consumption is higher (when not using the hotspot)?

keep up the work!
