PalmTX: WiFi - for real

With palmtx being slowly moved towards mainline, I gave a try to libertas driver. With little tweak, I was able to create ad-hoc network between palmld (with palmos) and palmtx (with linux).

What now? firmware loader from if_cs.c doesnt work so you have to enable wifi in palmos and then boot, anyone feels like fixing it?

So that's it.

That's a very good

That's a very good beginning...
And if I would have some more programming skills, I'd fix this firmware-load-thing...
Thanks anyway, Marex!

OMG! It's finally

OMG!
It's finally happening!
I ve changed my PalmTX for a eeePC with ubuntu, but, i'm most than happy to finally see this happening.

I feel like crying, i'll follow the WiFi status very closely.
And, as allways.
Marex, Miska ... u r the men! :P
