Hi,

I have managed to grab hold of an Lucent WaveLAN Silver and do a firmware
upgrade to make it become a ORINOCO Gold (128-bit WEP), so that I can use
WLAN on the device.

I have played around with the built-in HPC 3 (WinCE 2.11) ROM image and was
pretty disappointed with the crippled Pocket IE.

I wanted to try out running Linux on it, but too bad Linux-VR (
http://www.linux-mips.org/linux-vr/) is totally defunct that I can even
download kernel/disk image to try it out.

Can someone tell me what else I can try to make use of the device (Vadem
Clio C-1000, NEC VR4111 (MIPS R4000) 84MHz, 16MB RAM, etc) ?

Regards,
T J
