802.11n on iPod touch 3G

Has there been any progress on enabling "N" wifi for the iPod touch 3g? Makes me wish I wasn't so no0by and I could actually help :/ Shengis14 16:41, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

the wifi firmware on the iPod touch 3g does not alow N but if you open iPod touch 4g firmware you can copy the wifi firmware over ( not tested but should work same os and same chip ) --liamchat 18:10, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

yes it is possible go to /usr/share/firmware/wifi and copy the 3 folders ( all have a .plist file to enable radio ) to your iPod touch 3g and reboot the device --liamchat 18:40, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

FM Radio

Has anyone done any work on enabling the FM radio receiver?--dra1nerdrake 19:39, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Not that I've heard of, but if there is an antenna soldered to the chip then we should be able to do something with it over at iDroid project, once we have OpeniBoot figured out for a device with one of the BCM4329/BCM4325 chips that is. Same goes for 802.11n I suppose. -Rekoil 21:17, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Bluetooth HFP

Now that the iPod Touch can be jailbroken, has anyone looked into enabling Hands-Free Profile (to connect Bluetooth headsets)? -TouchFaith 11 October 2010

Monitor Mode

BCM4329 is being used in the iPod touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G, Apple TV 2G, and iPad 2. Which prompted the thought why isn't the iphone being used for airdump and aireplay attacks. My understanding is using B43 driver (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43) both are supported (with some limitations - http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers#compatibility).

I understand it would most likely require porting tools, but having a working airdump on your iphone = awesomeness. You can then even offload the cracking to an online service or your desktop or using the current aircrack port.

i clearly dont have the full understanding of what is required to get drivers (are drivers required to be signed?) working to allow monitor mode. I assume porting airodump to the iphone be a reasonably easy task?

Anyone have thoughts or insights into this? i would love to see it happen.
