I would personally love to see Tehnoetic's awesome addition added to
Replicant 6.0. My s3 phone got stolen a few weeks ago and haven't found
a replacement yet, so I'm sorry that I can't contribute by testing right
now. A ton of work has been done on Replicant 6.0 though on the i9100
and i9300 and it might see a beta release sooner rather than later.

So, what are the blockers to adding this feature? Does more development
need to be done? Or do we need some organized testing of different
builds? Who all is down for some alpha testing of the feature and what
phones do you have?

Can we use this email thread to organize the progress on this? If you
think that the issues, forum or wiki is a better place to have this
discussion, reply to this thread if move the discussion, or parts of it,
over to one of those.

If you need to buy a compatable external wifi adapter to try this out
you can buy one here:

ThinkPenguin has one too last time I checked.
