| well, only in software. the hardware supports WPA-PSK and WEP only
but in software you can do this is mostly a softradio (hardware acceleration is there, but you can pretty much control what bits are sent)

| I love the, "well, it would be really hard to reverse engineer" bit...
What you really mean is, it would be really hard for anyone else to reverse engineer, and moderately difficult for me...

| dmitry why don't you create an app that will be able to hack into the other processor and make apps run faster (somewhat like overclocking but here you'd be running two processors at their RAW speed to get things done faster)
this app could be a major success
exactly how powerful is the other processor?
can you RUN both palm and linux at the same time like VMware fusion does?
if you can actually do that then you could create an app for that too
so is that possible?

| someone asked me what i am doing with my 5 dead lifedrives
well within warranty when my lifedrive died, i just gave it to palm and they gave me a sparkling new one
so that's where my dead Ld(s) are

As Dmitry said, this isn't a standalone processor and it will take a lot of hacking to get it to run, say, two different OSs simulataniously, or even for that matter, to overclock the device.

| yeh, but still, a really good area to explore... no one knows what advantages can you get from this

| First thing first, we need to find out more about what's actually there... my guess is that it'll be useful more in the line of an embedded device than as a general purpose CPU. Making it a "second" core for the OS would involve a LOT of work -- of course, since Dmitry's planning to write his own OS, he could include some LD hacks for the processor

| its a full ARM core.
no MMU, but it does have caches, buffers, a CF, spi, and sdio interface

Thanks!! A good bit of insight, that. | |

| Dmitry is speaking geek again. B-B Attempts to define: MMU - Memory Management Unit (MMU) is the part of the processor that is responsible for protecting system resources from unwanted access and also adding the capability for handling virtual memory. In ARM cores, MMU is basically MPU plus added support for virtual memory. MPU - Memory Protection Unit (MPU) is the management unit in the processor that is responsible for shielding of system resources and tasks from unwanted access. RISC - Reduced Instruction Set Computer SPI - a 3-wire bus used by cheap mmc controllers SDIO - Secure Digital Input/Output (able to access Secure Digital cards)

spi is not what you defined - it is a 3-wire bus used by cheap mmc controllers
