yes I have the same question, do we have to download the source code too?
I already have the previous source code and the latest binary build, but I don't know how to use that binary build.
I try replacing the modules in /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power50 with the modules found in wl1251-maemo-0.2-power49+pre50.tar.gz, but failed. It also make fmradio application fail to run.

If I have to download the latest source code, does it mean I have to extract wl1251-maemo-0.2-power49+pre50.tar.gz in the new source code directory?

Just load wl1251-maemo-0.2-power49+pre50.tar.gz (212kb) and extract the *.ko modules to

Code:

/home/user/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/

that's all. Load it with Wlan Driver Selector Applet.
No need to d/l source code...

~~Btw. if you use CSSU Testing you'll already have bleeding edge driver included.~~

Edit: Maybe you'll need load.sh and unload.sh too. See attachement and put it in the same folder.

Cheers,

Code:

Open this page in N900 webbrowser. Think a minute if you want to be a tester supporting CSSU bleeding edge, or you rather need a rock solid CSSU, then click on the according Install stable or testing green button at top of this page.

Sorry, if this info is incorrect. Probably I've just misunderstood it.

This is normal because MyDocs is a FAT partition not supporting ownership of files (use /home/user/ for example wich is Ext2,3,4 and there should be no error)... The files should be working anyways.

Regards,

Aah, I see. Well, there are two very important words missing, "wifi"and "driver"

Yes, you've just misinterpreted what is written there. The is no such thing like "bleeding edge wifi driver" in CSSU
