Quick note to say that I have the 3945 laptop for 1 week now, and marathon coding for next 6 days has started. By next Sunday 18 Oct, the driver will either work, or it will not work.
Please use this page for up-to-minute information.
Update 18 Oct 2009:
From the facebook page I hope people are aware that 65-70% of the driver is finished. However, there are issues with system freeze on repeated power on/off, and scanning for networks currently has some bugs according to the firmware. In other words, the driver is not functional by the deadline we had.
Thankfully though, I still have access to the laptop for 4-5 days further. So I shall continue working on the driver and see how far we get. I’m hoping at least unsecured connection is working by then! As usual, more up-to-the-minute updates are posted on the FB page linked above. Cheers!
