Painfully slow WIFI

[zowki]

It was known that ad hoc wasn't available. It wasn't necessary for most purposes and was assumed the driver would eventually be updated. Driver is being updated, should be working in the beta driver intended for hotfix 6.

For me its a deal breaker since I only have Ethernet connection at home, ad hoc via my laptop is the only way for my handheld devices to connect to the Internet. When I bought my Pandora I assumed it was one of those things that were given since all my devices such as iPhone, Nokia N900, etc supported ad hoc. I hope the new driver will work.

I found open source drivers for my WIFI card (and many others included)

i think this is compatible with arm devices and would greatly extend the range of supported WIFI adapters


i posted this in the port request section, so maybe it can be done by someone more experienced (if not I'll install the toolchain and attempt to make a pnd)
