Mer has you copy over the drivers from maemos /lib/firmware to Mer's. Maybe we need to do same in android so the kernel side of things will work.

MER is much more similar to Maemo than Android is to Maemo, dj_steve can answer this much better than me, but I think that wont be possible... Heck it might have been something he has already done.

Lets just hope that he can apply his findings on Android 2.1 to Android 2.2 without any unforeseen problems and really really fast when the source gets released

Something has been bothering me:
Someone (I can't remember who) linked to this device earlier.
It has wifi, but no GSM. How does it get to Google Apps?

This bothers me. It seems to be something Google did, and there must be a way around it.

I think it requires specialized apps from slatedroids site, not sure

wifi is more permissions issue than drivers, the driversand firmware loads up fine, just permissions on folders is dodgy and i cant work out why at min.

Stupid question, cant you just chmod every file that has to do with wifi to 755?

yea but since 1 is not created until wpa_supplicant starts and android promptly shuts down wpa_supplicant after scan fails its a bit hard

gah, this is complicated. i was just reading system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
why does every process have to have its own user id?
