Re: Hello!

Patrick,

The wifi does work, but you need to load the module
(modprobe acx). I had some crashes using wifi, but in
general it seems alright. WPA does not work yet.

According to Paul S. Bluetooth does work. I've had
some trouble with it in the most recent kernels, but
it has worked in the past so it could just be me.
Here are the steps:

modprobe h4000_bt
hciattach /dev/ttyS1 any

that will set up your device and bind it to a serial
port. The output of 'hciconfig' should give you a
device. If the HW address of the device is all zeros
than you may have the same problem that I do. Please
post to the list either way as I have been trying to
get this to work for a while. (As a side note these
directions are a year old, so there may be a better
way at this point.)

You can use opensync to syncronize just about
anything. Also the gpe PIM utils can import various
formats.

The best thing to do if you want to use the most
recent stuff is to install OE. It's actually very
easy, and building packages is usually just one
command. Also if you use stuff from dev you get to
ask the experts (like Paul) questions ;-) Just
remember they are very busy and involved in a number
of projects. They almost always get back to you it
just may take a bit of time.
