wifi/wpa gui for opie

Hi,

First I am very glad to see that Opie project is going on. I have a C760
that I don't use anymore because x11 is too slow for regular use and using
outdated cacko or sharprom is not an option anymore.

I a few months ago I made some work to backport wpa-gui to cacko and it
worked fine. Would any of you be interested in using this work to add a gui
to OPIE to manage wifi connections? Making a recipe with patches for
wpa-gui does not seem to be the good option, as there are too many
modifications. Maybe that would be a better idea to "fork" wpa-gui based on
my work and incorporate it into OPIE base code? I really believe that a 2007
distro should have as a base component a gui to manage wifi profiles with
WPA support.

I don't have time (nor the skills) to do this by myself, so I hope someone
can do it. If so I'll search through my archives and send the files (they
must be somewhere...).

Btw, I have another question related to Opie which I believe is very
important on a user point of view: is there any new decent browser that
could be used under Opie (I am even talking about "hakish" ways like ripping
Opera from the Nokia N800, ...)? Or are we doomed to use the old buggy
konqueror ?

Best regards and thank you for the work done with Opie.
Nicolas.
