I Love Non Working Wifi - Who Else?

[hch]

we sure need a new poll here, don't we?

also, i'd like to shift perspective a bit. the devs should cheer up a little - this is supposed to be a hackers device and i for once would love to get it with non-working wifi just for the opportunity of tinkering around. i'd be happy with the situation as is, without dongle and without offer of free board replacement later. and i am sure, that i'm not alone.

Send it please, dongle or no dongle

In an act of sympathy, I disassembled my N800 today and removed the Wifi chip with a screwdriver

Not enough options!

I wanted to tick (2) & (3) on the understanding that (1) eventually

Wi-fi not working as it should, use external dongle - end of chat

Yes it is an adverised feature but things like this happen and its just not that important as an external dongle can be used

Since I'm waiting for the 2nd batch anyway, I'm also waiting for full Wi-Fi. It needs to be above Internet speed, too, since I'll be using it on WLAN to transfer prons.

poll needs more gremlins

I don't care. It does need to be fixed eventually, but in the meantime...

1) A dongle is fine.
2) No dongle is fine.
3) Botchy connections are fine. I don't plan to do much wireless stuff right away.
4) Proprietary drivers are fine. I'd rather have working wireless than unworking, even if it is a binary blob.

I would suggest that perhaps one of the devs should start a build with a new kernel version. Newer kernels work better with newer wireless drivers, right? It might have other issues, so start early?

I want WIFI to work. I'd planned to use it for some light browsing whilst I'm on the couch, at friends place or even out and about.
