B7610 isnt supported YET
so why make a bug report ? 
the main focus is on I8000, B7610 is well a side project maybe in the future

my bad, i thought all bugs were to be reported but if its i8000 specific then 
please ignore this
sadly with no data and no wifi the beta is not as good on our phones, but still 
great work by the team and looking forward to future releases!

yes sadly enough , you just have 2 wait for more stable upcoming releases,
and maybe someone is willing to  take some extra care for the B7610

support for B7610 is a feature request with low prior (just as keymap request), 
so filed under enhancement/low

@devs: If we (B7610 community) can deliver you the android wifi drivers for our 
chipset, is it possible for you guys to implement the drivers (or write us a 
VERY short guide on how to do it ourselves?)

I can confirm that the WIFI/Bluetooth Chipset in the Onmia B7610 is a Samsung 
SWB-T30 module which contains a Texas instruments Texas WL1271 which is also 
wireless N capable!

I see that WL1271 drivers are already included in the source files.

issue is accepted and set medium. 

Mosci and I work on keymapping, and as a sidecatch (we scan for 
[http://code.google.com/p/omnia2droid/wiki/Omnia2gpio gpios] using gpio/haret 
tools) we could find info on how to initialize and connect the existing driver 
to the hardware.

for the main dev team this has no prior, so hope for some sidecatch and get 
involved and try some source-reading, compiling and 
configuration/testing/debugging.

since there is no support for wl1271 in the kernel yet
we have to wait at least until someone patch that support into ... or even 
better
the dev will change to a higher kernel-version.
as long as there is no driver available, it makes not much sense to start a 
(next) 'try and error' session about the gpios :-)

a roadmap to make the wifi work on b7610 is made but still a lot of work ( 
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=329882&view=findpost&p=1613688 ). 
Everybody who wants to help out is welcome. For wannabe devs like me: prepare 
for a lot of learning and a lot of trying, for experienced devs: any help would 
de appreciated.

hi..may i know what information to help porting B7610? like wifi chips 
diagrams?..

it is not the info that is the main bottleneck (it is public, and reverse 
engineered additions can be shared to other devs), only people with less 
experience in coding and system integrating for linux embedded systems are 
willing to put their free time in it. So one has to be patient or has to find 
more/other devs to do the job.

erik and i are making some progress, but it is slow.

coding examples how the driver is integrated in b7610 like architectures 
(s3c6410/spi/gpio) (other than the zoom example) is very welcome. We have the 
pieces, but it is hard for us to put it together.

from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx : 1. Modify or create the 
board-specific configuration. An example on how this should be done can be 
found under arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-zoom-peripherals.c for the TI Zoom 
reference boards. This is where you need to set the right mmc port, assign the 
gpios, adjust the reference clock information, etc.

I am having omnia 2 I8000 and had the same problem. I tried this and it worked 
for me: try installing "SU File manager & Terminal" to get root access. Then 
try deleting /data/misc/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
