1. For the most part, yes. I don't know about the wifi drivers, but I believe all hardware drivers for the N900 are community-written.
2. Yes right now, although the N950 is a developer device.
3. No idea (don't have one.)
4. Nokia would certainly hope so. As it stands, Meego uses a RPM based package management system, so I suppose perhaps you could use the ARM repos for Fedora or something.

Yeah I figured nobody could answer the WiFi driver question until the devices were out in hackers' hands.
I forgot one question, although I believe I know the answer: We can write our own MeeGo apps in Qt creator?

P.S I assume you mean Meego-Harmattan, rather than vanilla Meego? You can't (as far as I know) target vanilla Meego using Qt Creator.

... Yeah, I'll stick to network hacking, not programming.

-Easy Debian
---MitM attacks
---Web server
-Packet Injection
-Game emulators [GBA, NES]
And I love having full Debian [EasyDebian] and Debian-based [Maemo 5] installations, using apt-get, rooting, etc.
So my questions are:
1) Is MeeGo as "hackable" and open?
2) Can I obtain root?
3) Will we be able to do packet injection on the N9/N950 hardware?
4) Will we have access to the thousands of Linux/Maemo apps like on the N900?
I especially look forward to having a device with NFC hardware I can mess around with. ^_^
