 I compiled that from [http://omappedia.com/index.php?title=Wilink_Linux&redirect=no] If someone knows a way to build it from archos sources please add the info to the wiki.
 The firmware.bin is obtainable from TI.
+
+Also if you are using the driver from archos, only root has access to the internet. This is because of CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK see the following bug report for angstrom gen7 http://dev.openaos.org/ticket/59
+To get the user to access the internet, we have to add a few groups to debian and make the user a member of it.
+
+
+{{{
+$ sudo addgroup --gid 3001 bt
+$ sudo addgroup --gid 3002 bt-net
+$ sudo addgroup --gid 3003 inet
+$ sudo addgroup --gid 3004 net_raw
+}}}
+
+And now adding the user to the groups supposing your user is "debian":
+
+{{{
+$ sudo adduser debian bt
+$ sudo adduser debian bt-net
+$ sudo adduser debian inet
+$ sudo adduser debian net_raw
+}}}
+

 We are going to add a folder in the root of the rootfs where we will copy our needed files for the wlan. To succesfully load the firmware we will also need the tiwlan.ini and wlanconf.nvs (calibration file). However we will use a shortcut and copy them over from archos android on startup. We could do that for the rest of the files too, but it is more fun building stuff yourself :).
