Good news! And bad news.

Combining greygoo's instructions with wek's instructions (with my "slirpvde" modification) sets up a joikuspot-style router with a stock kernel... for a second, until my N900 rebooted.

0. Install Easy Debian and apt-get install vde2

1. make sure the N900 is on the GPRS data network (not wifi)

2. run the three commands from greygoo as root (I don't have iwconfig in Maemo, so I also ran these in a root Debian terminal):

Code:
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0
iwconfig wlan0 essid N900
3. run the three vde2 commands in three Easy Debian root terminals (sudo debian):
Code:
vde_switch -s /var/run/vde_sock
slirpvde -s /var/run/vde_sock -D
vde_pcapplug -s /var/run/vde_sock wlan0
4. Find the "N900" hotspot with your N800 (or laptop if you aren't cool enough to own an N800) and connect.

5. Get the IP address (yes, you get one!)

6. Try to load a web page... see the web browser show the title of the web page at the title bar... then watch the N900 reboot... ...or watch the web page load at a snail's pace, or stall, or not load at all...
