it says the following packages have unmet dependencies:
mp-fremantle-generic-pr:depends: osslo-wlan(=3.0.20+0m5) but (3.0.20+0m5-1) is to be installed

what can i do
Hmm, I thought you only would run into that problem if you update to another firmware version. Like I have written in the readme, you would have to downgrade osso-wlan first, afterwards you could eventually reinstall the modified osso-wlan.
hawaii's idea is not that bad for personal use, when you know what you do, but it is a little bit too hacky for my taste, so that I wouldn't like to provide such a package.

So the instructions for downgrading would be:

* Download http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...+0m5_armel.deb to your MyDocs directory

* Open X Terminal

* Gain root access
$ sudo gainroot

* Downgrade osso-wlan
# cd MyDocs
# dpkg -i osso-wlan_3.0.20+0m5_armel.deb

* Now all should work as usual again

Reinstallation of the modified version works as described in the readme. Moreover as stated in the readme the modified osso-wlan package is not essential, nevertheless it fixes a bug.
