Yep, this did it. I am able to connect to a WiFi network as well.

maps.google.com isn't working at this stage. Google apps won't be ported due to license restrictions ehh?

What's next beyond this point? Could be there any other support in this translation besides what you are doing and other individual efforts?

goog apps are planned to be added but ive explained why they are not currently.

Trying to get it work on my N900. Really slow boot, WiFi doesn't work. Hmm... Lets see.

I got WiFi working after 2 reboots

But Google might not like it when you do. They sent an e-mail to CyanogenMod´s author for deleting Google apps from the release.

Might be because they have content in it that Google don't like(I have no idea). If dj_steve mangages to use a vanilla android with just the patches needed to maek it work I don't think it should be an issue. I have no idea if Google have any policies that are against that, if they do then obviously he can't redistribute the Google apps

google contacted cyanogen because he included a market app that was unreleased at the time no other reason

How to disable RD mode? I tried --disable-rd-mode and I think it worked. The RD flags get resetted or I have to reset them by hand?

Yes, me too!

I have observed the same issue. In the first two boot wifi was not working (i.e. it was searching active wireless networks around). The third and following boots it has started working. I have tested AndAppStore and installed a few games and dictionaries. They indeed have so many quality dictionaries ported for Android. I wish N900 had some of those.

One else thing I have noted was live wallpapers. They don't seemingly work as of yet.

@dj_steve,

Do you have an issue tracker for this project?

These guys at http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/ have nicely manages the complexity of their porting project by taking advantage of Google Code Issue Tracker. It would be nice to be able to update you or other developers (if there is any) via such practical interface.
