Hi,

while looking
through the component listing on Wolgang's wiki page I
recognized the MediaTek MT5921 WLan-chipset.
This should be the same (or at least similar) chip built into the german
Thalia/Bol/Buch.de Oyo ebook-reader (also released in France). The module is
called mt5921sta_spi.ko and claims to be released under the GPL but until now
no source release happened for any GPL component.
The module is also contained in the firmware of the Booq Avant released in
Spain (http://www.booqreaders.com/en/product_Avant) and possibly many more
ebook-readers as these models seem to share their basic design.
