I am not a developer but a Linux engineer with > 12 years exp. My "development" work would be in the form of scripts that others can put into their front ends and pass data to from their front ends. 2 things I would like to see added if possible in the next release would be vi and a bash/bash-like cli (history, tab completion, etc). If possible adding the copy command would be VERY helpful.
to get the EDGE to connect to any ad-hoc network you only need the following 2 commands run in a terminal windows from root on the device (you will need an external USB keyboard though since the on-screen Kbd does not have a way to make it stay on screen):
iwconfig mlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig mlan0 essid <your essid>
you can see what networks are available with:
iwlist mlan0 scanning
Let me know if I can help with anything else. Also if anyone can point me to a good on screen keyboard i can add that I can set to stay on the screen until I close it that would help!
