HI Neil

As I understand it, Iliwi does not work properly on the N900, due to the fact
that the iwlist program called during the scanning process produces output
in a slightly different format. This may be caused by differences in the wifi
drivers on the two phones.

The solution is probably to port Iliwi to use the D-Bus API of wpa_supplicant
which I think should produce the same output regardless of the underlying
wifi drivers.

Esben was working on a new version of Iliwi in which he had began to rewrite
the code in a much more modular way, and I think he was hoping to port it to
D-Bus as part of his roadmap. However, I haven't seen any updates on his
github page since March so he maybe busy with other things at the moment.

Maybe I (or someone else) could try to port the current Iliwi to D-Bus, but I
am also busy at the moment, and I am hoping that Esben will release his
new version soon.

Regards

Ben
