Thank you, Mentalist Traceur,
I do have the AIS installed (as one of the ways to check the health of the WiFi as I was assuming for a while the HW was rotten in spite of the N900 being brand new). Now that I have WiFi, I can properly SSH and I will definitely try out the ideas you mention.
cheers!

If it's not at those locations, it'll be in one of the other default path locations (/bin, /usr/bin/, or /sbin <-- probably the latter since only root can run modprobe and rmmod, which is what those scripts use by default).
I'm also not 100% sure if I remembered the way the scripts are named right, because I always just type advi[tab], and that's the only two commands on my N900 that start with advi, so tab will auto-complete it to the "o" in "on.sh"/"off.sh".

I've made a small qbw button for loading and unloading wl1251 for those who might find it usefull.
And also created two shortcuts to load or unload from anywhere in xterm by just typing "wifion" or "wifioff"
Short instructions:
1. open your load.sh and edit the paths to match yours
2. copy wifion and wifioff to /usr/bin and make it executable
Check the path in both files
3. copy wifion.png and wifioff.png to /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir
4. create a new queen beecon widget on desktop -> go to advanced and "Import File to Buffer" -> then "Buffer to Beecon"
Use file Wl1251.txt from attachments (the one in the zip file is outdated) remove .txt if you want before importing.
Edit: I forgot to mention that you'll need sudser package installed for QBW executing the command properly.
Edit2: Added a proper Wl1252 queen beecon import file (see attachments) with valid instance export data.
Done!
Have fun,

i am unable to connect to my university's network (WPA2 Enterprise).
Will this driver enable me to wpa2?

It should I guess. I'm using a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND router with dd-wrt firmware and wpa2 personal is working fine with this driver.

There is a famous incident involving a priest describing a group of converts the story of Jesus Christ...The story took quite long, almost the entire day... At the end of it, the priest asks the audience for questions... one of them stands up and asks "What is the relationship between Joseph and Jesus"...
And now I ask: what does "loading and unloading wl1251" do? And the bleeding edge (nice name btw)??
Does it increase the speed of my WLAN??

Code:
It is based on the upstream bleeding-edge wireless-testing tree and incorporates nearly all features found in the stock wl12xx driver used in Maemo Fremantle, adds some bugfixes and also provides some unique features like packet injection.

Hi.
I installed drivers, it was OK for some time, but something went wrong.
Now after I load driver (load.sh) wlan0 disappears. Connecting to AP makes device to reboot.
What can I do to fix the problem? I tried to reinstall packages.
I suppose I'm not first with such a question, but I can`t read all 40 pages.
Any help hill be appreciated.
Last time I rebooted with consol "reboot". Can this cause a problem?

@werepacman: as of yesterday, I was experimenting with power-kernel settings and smartreflex which all of a sudden led to rebooting while fiddling around with the b-e-drivers. Maybe something similar in your case caused the rebooting? Might be worth checking, just in case.
As there seems to be an incompatibility with unmodifid versions of the power kernel, the
command seemed to help me before rerunning the installation procedure:
echo kernel-power-flasher hold | dpkg --set-selections
echo kernel-power hold | dpkg --set-selections
echo kernel-power-modules hold | dpkg --set-selections
After that I reinstalled kernel-power-settings and now am a happy camper. I found above mentioned commands in the power-kernel info on maemo.org.
As I am pretty noob, forgive me if I have not completely grasped all dependencies correctly....

All times are GMT. The time now is 17:39.
What I did was I changed the scripts that Advanced Interface Switcher uses (a program that replaces the default bluetooth status menu applet with a three-button applet, each of which toggles one of the following radios: bluetooth, wifi, and phone), so that they loaded and unloaded the injection drivers instead of the normal ones. That way right after a boot, the stock wifi driver gets loaded (but then I typically unload it until I need it with Adv. Int. Switcher anyway), and then from then on I get the injection-capable drivers loading.
A while ago I DID try to get the right drivers to load, by replacing some of the modules files in /etc/modules/current (which symlinks to /etc/modules/[current kernel name]/ - and editing some other files that near as I could tell told the kernel what modules to load and which modules depended on which other modules.
The result was a device that couldn't properly load or modprobe the driver in question.
Anyway, if you want to do it 'less neatly' you can probably make a script that's placed in /etc/event.d/ that will fire on, say, starting of hildon desktop, and will unload the stock wifi module and will load the injection capable ones. It's not as efficient as figuring out how to make them "truly" default, but it's transparent enough to you as the user, since you never see the stock driver in use. *Shrug*
In the meantime, I'm getting progressively braver with modifying the **** out of don't-touch-these-if-you're-not-willing-to-reflash files/areas on the N900, so if I can figure out how to load the new drivers completely by default, I'll probably post a thread about it or something.
