N770 Project died durring setup

Some of you were waiting on my follow up post to my story about the Nokia N770 Internet tablet.

Short Answer: Wireless radio in the unit is non-functional, to the point that the kernel can not load firmware to the card during the module load.

The N770 is a great device in both hardware and user interface design. How ever, it takes too much work to get a root shell and then to figure out what is wrong with it. I don't think it would have been as hard to solve a problem other then the network being dead.

This is not my last try with a Nokia Internet Tablet! However, I think I will try the N800 next time. It has one feature that is a major difference from the N770, an SecureDigital (SD) slot instead of the MMC style slot for memory expansion.
