Lack of wifi support is the only thing putting me off from using Linux on my palm TX. Right now it's just fun to toy with for a few minutes, but wifi support would open up a world of opportunities for me.

So, I too would like to know what the situation is with this.

I too am waiting for wifi support. Is there any active development on wifi support for the TX or is it never likely to happen?

Thanks,
John H.

The first signs of wifi on the Lifedrive on this project was about 1.5 years ago.. I lost my faith in this and I guess it will never happen. Dont think anyone is working on it any longer. If I dont remember it wrong I think Marex here made some progress but didnt get it all the way so if someone want to start working on it I guess there is some knowledge that he and maybe others can help with.

I am not besmearing a comprehensive forum but their some thing,

Important yine my need thankings which the knowledge becomes red loves

I, too, am waiting for a Wifi/Memory combo SD driver for the Palm (specifically the Z72). I got mine free, so I'm not complaining, but it would be really nice if I didn't have to run the network through my laptop.

Hey Guys!
Marex, Miska ... Any news with the WiFi?
Everytime i use Opie on T|X dream about wifi ... all the posibilities that wifi will give us, can't take PalmOS no more ... it sucks big time! :(

I have now given up on running linux on my lifedrive and bought a Nokia N800 debian linux tablet pc... not expensive at all and runs linux, wifi, mozillabrowser, skype, mplayer and much more out of the box!! Its worth a try! :)

kernel 2.6.24 has suport for marvell 88W8385 (wifi chip on lifedrive)
can you try with this kernel?

Hi folks,

Its been a few months since the news about the 2.6.24 kernel came out, i was wondering if anyone had had a chance to try it with a TX (or LD) yet; and if so, what they had experienced.
(I would but i'm without a running linux box at the moment)

Hi! I'm willing to try the new kernel ... but I got lost on the way trying to download the kernel ... do you have a more concrete link and instructions?
