Palm Tungsten|C WiFi

Hi, I've finally figured out how the WiFi in PalmTC actually is wired. Both me and Alex 'BobOfDoom' Osborne were partly right about it, but we both missed what the other had. Generally combining it into one driver resulted into a working WiFi ;-) . Patch after break.

The whole story:
Alex thought GPIO55 is reset ... that's not true ;-) Reset is definitelly GPIO 78 (my part), that's verified on desoldered palmtc.
I thought GPIO55 is useless ... it isn't (Alex's part) :-)

Ah... that explains it.

Hi, I would be very keen to try Linux on my Tungsten C and would be happy to help debugging. How can I get hold of install files? What do I need to do? Is there anywhere a project page with more specific info available?

I am no programmer, but have been using Linux for nearly a decade on a multitude of computers, including some embedded ARM stuff (NAS devices which i reflashed) and have no major problem compiling stuff.

Looking at the pages here on Hack&Dev, there is an abundance of dead links, particularly also relating to the Tungsten C
