I hope this will be different this time. :| This post targets those of you who own a N770 and have no use for it. First things first: Nokia has made STM *publish* the *specs*[0] for the STLC45xx wifi chipsets used in the N8x0 device series. This is nice and will make many people happy. Still this leaves those owning the old N770 in the dust since those devices use the earlier STLC4370. Both chips are actually variants of the P54 for which free drivers exist. Nokia is also planning to release their 'dsme' program which manages the tablets hardware (along with 'bme', which will AFAIK remain closed). I think there have never been better times to get those tablets freed than now. The nice folks from Mamona already have a nice distribution which today gets stuffed with some proprietary parts and works on a kernel from the stoneage (aka 2.6.16). If you would be willing to donate your N770 to someone who wants to write a driver for the stlc4370 please let me know. Thanks!
