Well, wifi has too many different options to set; like SSID and enc-key. In contrast HSPA does not need any of them. Also I want to restore the original functionality of "internet everywhere".
Besides, it's work in progress. Maybe I'll ditch into wifi later. Most probably the linux support for wifi cards is better. |

Look into /etc/ppp. As far as I can tell they just use PPP (like in good old modem days .

Don't know. Most probably it will, but it will also need another firmware mod. As for the Hardware, as far as I can see (from photos on the net) the DX also has a miniPCIexpress card inside, so why not ? It (the DX) also has some preparation for a second module in a corner, I guess that's for Bluetooth.

Did you ever succeed? Your site helped me with getting the kindle modem working on a PC (weekend bored project, managed to access Kindle store and amazon store from a PC without wifi).
