There is now a pre-alpha package libicd-network-wpasupplicant in the repos. You really need to know how to use it (e.g. what doesn't work - some obvious things to do not work yet), but otherwise it works stable. It also requires manually starting some services currently, so it's not yet ready for testing, but I wanted to give a status update.

WPA-EAP is now partially implemented. PEAP with MSCHAPV2 works, and TTLS with PAP should work, including anonymous identity (I will test this today or tomorrow). (eduroam, yay!)

What doesn't work is connecting to a (previously unconfigured) network directly from the applet scan dialog. All networks must be added/configured via control panel "internet connectivity". Password popups also are not yet implemented yet. Some minor gconf features are also not implemented yet (ask for password always). autoconnect check is also not fully implement, for similar reasons. (e.g. we cannot autoconnect if require a password manually every time).

There's also some code cleanups to be done, and I have not tried ad-hoc at all yet.

(The package in the repo doesn't have the WPA-EAP support yet)

Tested to work not just on N900, but also on Raspberry pi 3, Motorola Droid 4 and even virtual machine (with usb passthrough).

So i accidentally found out this boots on the droid bionic using he droid4 images. i guess now i just have to wait for a virtual keyboard.

i bought what i thought was a droid4 on ebay, rooted and set it up, and then noticed it didnt have a keyboard and the listing called it a "Droid 4G"

The cunning cunning bastard!

That is impressive. I guess the hardware is similar enough to the droid 4. Maybe the linux-omap people wouldn't mind hearing about that.

Can you take a picture?

(EDIT: If you're lucky, OTG may just work, you perhaps you can connect a keyboard over usb otg?)

Regarding virtual keyboard, we hope to have it ready soon. I should be writing another status update soon, but I want to finish some wifi code before I do that.

I did get to test WPA EAP with TTLS and MSCHAPv2 last week, and it is working for spacenet (so it should work for eduroam too):

i cant seem to find an otg cable. im sure i've bought like 5 of em in the past, but they seem to have ran off.

pic is 2 bionics, one running leste, resting on top of a nexus s. my wife says i have to much junk on this desk

There's a new update/status/blog post here: https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-...june-2018.html

Enjoy!

Can't wait for the Nexus 5 port. I have a spare one which was bought for Ubuntu Touch and Plasma but they both don't work for me. Maybe Leste will! Will be more than happy to be a guinea pig for the Nexus 5 port. A non tech guinea pig

agreed.

buntu touch has nice interface...scant apps, and I have come to hate their container method.
plasma is great if it weren't so heavy ...

and yes..
I too am waiting for Leste for the nexus 5
Leste should freakin' fly on it.

I don't mind being a experimental lab animal either..
I have 3 5's to roast...so "expendable" is my middle name right now..

My Nexus 5 arrived. I'll see if I can find a few free evenings and do the port.

Excellent .
Looking forward to puttering away with it...
And looking forward to a future with a viable modern maemo experience again...
