Just catching up on status

Hi all,

 I'll start by saying I'm a little new to linux on PDA's but have done
work on embedded routers and the like and run Linux servers at work.

I have an Ipaq HP 2495 (hx2495), I currently dual boot using Win
and Hazret to use GPE.
  4GB flash= 1GB VFAT for boot and shared files, 3GB Ext3 for standard
linux root.

I cobled together a -somewhat- working linux using pieces from
several firmwares around the net,
mostly based on the pxa270 firmware at Familiar, which is very out-of-date.
Shell and GUI work great... autodim/autosleep seem to lockup unit.

I've got buttons, Touch Screen, LCD and CF working but need
wifi, bluetooth(no biggie) along with any other features.

Anyways... has anyone managed to get a kernel with working wifi going
yet for his model?

How is the drivers structured, all compiled in or using modules?

One feature I like on Ubuntu (any many other desktop linuxes) is that
the kernel can detect things as it needs and load them.
-- some embedded distros I've worked with have everything compiled in,
so if you changed or added hardware you were SOL on the OS.
