Firstly, Maemo is not fully open source. There is a ton that has been closed off, and rightfully so.
Secondly, firmware is not solely responsible for Rx/Tx. The driver merely recommends, the firmware will complete the action. And if the firmware has been neutered to simply not allow packets to be sent down an unconfigured interface, it won't work. Unfortunately, only a few people actually know if this is the case.
The "wifi pc chipsets" you so lawlessly talk about, do not have tertiary loadable firmware, they merely shipped with drivers or used stacks that did not allow it. Patches fixed that.
and I don't mean to completely defecate on you, but you're not an expert, you just said so. So stop.
KTHNX. MODS BE NICE TO ME.

hey guys! there is a way to get aircrack-ng working on N900 by installing that debian image from the repositoriee and aircrack inside of it. For me it was working and i have got a handshake.....Moreover, airodump-ng is working as well so i suppose that there is a kernel problem in maemo system....

I'm not an expert, but I think that the firmware is only responsible for the physical touch, means sending and receiving packets, and doing exactly what the driver tells it to do.
I've seen many wifi PC chipsets that supported injection and promiscuous mode only after patching the driver, and I believe that's what we are dealing with here.
Considering that maemo is fully open source, I guess it shouldn't be too hard.
