I tested the build on a Hercules eCAFE EC-900. The wifi doesn't work.
It's a rt2860 chipset.
Android finally runs at native resolution 1024x600. Until now all
other builds ran at 800 x 600.
I didn't get to test if sound is working yet but on all previous
builds it didn't work.

Stoian,
rt2860 has issue for sometime. It is using a staging driver that is
not functioning in many cases

Wifi worked with 1.6 without a glitch.

I guess that the problem on your device is caused by fact that the
current build is targeted for eeepc only. And it may not recognize
your device correctly. Maybe Chih-wei can give more comments.

Wont it be better for the build to target generic Intel Atom devices
instead of only eeepc similar to what moblin is doing. Maybe build it
for i686 architecture like Fedora 12.

There is such a target created by Chih-wei already. Let me check with
him to see if it can satisfy your requirement
