Testing Angstrom distributions

So I was using Familiar on my ipaq h5550 for a while, but it seems that it is not much supported anymore. After some googling I found that developers moved to openembedded/angstrom distribution. I decided to give that a try and install some precompiled images. This is a brief summery of my experiments:

1. Narcissus as of 05/10/10 stable/GPE:
Loads kernel, responds to buttons by printing messages, no graphical interface.

2. Angstrom-opie-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r18-h5000:
After rebooting loaded normally with graphical display. I was not able to get wifi and bluetooth to work.

3. Angstrom-minimalist-gpe-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r18-h5000:
Booted with noinitrd option. Touch screen was not working.
