Yes. Most of these devices typically present some sort of native network 
device as well - the gobis have one on the last endpoint, we just have 
little idea how to drive it. There's some code in the drivers from 
codeaurora.com, but the major part is a missing binary object. Dan 
Williams has some ideas based on the combination of that and the Android 
drivers, so we may get somewhere. It'd be much easier if Qualcomm seemed 
worried about people ordering fewer than a million units, though.
