General

Multipoint-touch works out of the box with Lenovo S10-3t on Meego 1.0.99.2+ and 1.1.+

Latest image that I've tested is: http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/1.1.90.8.20110322.2/

Howto get wifi working on S10-3t

1. Activate the MeeGo toolbar and select the applications icon

2. Choose the Accessories section and select Terminal (or type terminal in the search box)

3. Install the various tools you’ll need

   sudo bash
   zypper install rpmdevtools

4. Install the compilers and other tools, (fyi: "zypper pt" to see patterns)

   zypper install -t pattern meego-development-tools

5. Install the kernel-netbook-devel package.

   zypper install kernel-devel

6. Now we’re ready to build and install the new broadcom drivers

   mkdir wifi
   cd wifi
   wget http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz
   tar zxvf hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz
   wget http://rainisto.com/wiki/GPL.patch
   patch -p0 < GPL.patch
   make 
   make install
   depmod
   modprobe wl

7. You should be able to see wifi under networks-menu

This works atleast on meego 2.6.35.3-9.5-netbook kernel. Some newer kernels do not seem to work. Sometimes you need to dualboot to windows to enable wifi, since it can get blocked under some conditions in linux.
