sorry if this have been ask before, but why are we still using 2.6.28 kernel?
what prevent N900 to use 3.2.1 (latest kernel) or even 2.6.38?

Binary blobs and cell phone software.
If you want 3.2.5, go ask the Nemo team if they can roll it in.

Any luck on the WLAN bug?

Disabling WLAN from automatically connecting doesn't help. If I go into the "Internet connection" widget from the home screen, WLAN APs are still pinged. After 2-3 days of even no WLAN use, if I go into the "Internet connection" widget the kernel panics in the same way as I have reported.

Could someone fashion a patch go catch the NULL pointer for now to at least not kernel panic?

Pali is making a new build which should fix the issue (hopefully it will be available in a couple of minutes, there will be an announcement). Would you please install it once it is ready , test and report whether the issue still remains.

I started having the same issues at work a couple weeks ago, made the report and found it was already reported.

Turns out IT had changed where some of it's wifi APs were, and my office is now in the middle of two nearly-equally low powered APs. Every time a truck passes by outside it drops the signal and potentially changes which AP it's connected to, which caused a reboot on occasion.

(It took me days to figure out it was trucks/signal causing this...) I "fixed" it by removing the work AP listing entirely and just not connecting to wifi at work.

I just loaded up todays build and re-enabled the work AP. Will let you know if it reboots again in the near future. Lots of trucks are due to pass by in the next couple hours.

Update: Lots of trucks and wifi up/downs later, and no reboots. Will let you know if that changes, but so far, so good.

I can make this configuration with batterypatch installed, or do I have to uninstall
