@one1002, Didn't try your tuto becos of the previous posts above me stating failure, and i was feeling too damn lazy to reinstall my original kernel power, etc like i had to the other day if anything went wrong, but thanks to reading through your tuto, managed to figure out a sequence of installations that works for me. much thanks bro!!!
I hope you don't mind, I'm posting my edited version of your tuto, that worked for me,


1) First of all, please backup/copy the folder below to somewhere safe:
/lib/modules/2.6.28.10power46

2) After you are done, FROM THE PC, extract the "zImage-2.6.28-maemo46-wl1" file from "wl1251-maemo\binary\kernel-power\kernel-power-bootimg_2.6.28-maemo46-wl1_armel\boot.."
(dpkg the bootimg .deb might work just as well to put the kernel into /boot, but i didn't try it out as it might overwrite your original power46 kernel)

3) Copy the file to /boot ON THE PHONE

4) Copy again into /boot/multiboot, and then rename the file to "vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power46-wl1" without the quotes

5) Now, go to /etc/multiboot.d and create a new .item entry called "02-Maemo-2.6.28.10power46-wl1.item"

edit the file as follows :

Code:
ITEM_NAME="Maemo 2.6.28.10power46-wl1"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.10power46-wl1
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
6) Next, from xterm, run these commands:

Code:
sudo gainroot
cd wl1251-maemo/binary/kernel-power
dpkg -i kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-maemo46-wl1_armel.deb
7) Now remember the /lib/modules/2.6.28.10power46 folder that u backed up just now?copy the folder back into /lib/modules

8) Reboot and select the new kernel from multiboot. Your original power46 kernel should load as well.
