== General Hardware Enablement: of WiFi & Bluetooth =Using Trim Slice =
== Project Description ==
A number of ARM boards have features that are not fully supported in Fedora. Note: Before starting this project, you must identify the features and boards you are targeting. From Peter Robinson: Most of the devices we support fedora supports actually only use a small amount of the HW hardware that is actually on the device. Whether it be is something simple like graphics or and sound or more interesting like gyrocomplex features such as GYRO, gpsGPS, FM radioRadio, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. There's also some other devices that would be interesting to support like the snowballSnowball, origenOrigen, or even the Vivaldi Tablet. Some definitely need FW and hence probably packaging if it's not in the linux-firmware dumping ground Expected outcome: The identified features will be supported . Having considered all of this information, it is our intention to enable WiFi & Bluetooth on the identified Trim Slice board(s) within using Fedora17 as our platformSkills required: packaging, kernel<br /><br /module building, testing Maximum number of students: One per hardware feature to be supported Resources: Chris Tyler (ctyler), Peter Robinson (pbrobinson)>

NOTE: only Project Leader(s) should add As you can see, there are many projects being researched, each with their own little community. We would have liked to thank everyone involved with these projects individually, but there are too many names hereto mention. You should not add your own name One might consider it to be non-practical to the Contributor listeach individual separately (we are talking about hundreds of people involved). -->
Instead, we would like to thank EVERYONE involved with these projects as a whole, as their research is helping us with our project. It is because of these individuals that the Trim-Slice community thrives. Keep up the good work everyone!!!<br /><br />
 
That being said, because our research revolves around Fedora, we would like to send out a special thanks to the individuals who's projects are similar to ours:

These goals may be ''related'' to other students' work, but must be ''distinct'' and ''attainable'' regardless of the state of the other students' work.
