This gained momentum way faster than I expected. After some very interesting discussion I was surprised by this:
15:03:44< AlSutton> I'm going to put up 50 GBP (~ 60 EUR) for the first person to deliver working WiFi on Froyo that gets Gr8Ks approval.
15:04:50< AlSutton> When Gr8K gets back he can check the code, confirm it works, and then the payment will be made.
15:05:37< AlSutton> Payment will be via PayPal, and documentation on how to get the WiFi working needs to be included
15:08:10< AlSutton> Unless Gr8K has any objections I'm happy to let the fun begin... 
15:08:44<@dm8tbr> AlSutton: in this case it wouldn't be that easy to keep the 'completely FOSS' rule though. the ti driver is not GPL. neither is the wpa_supplicant with the load of TI patches.
15:09:52< AlSutton> In the case it needs non-GPLed code it can do what the Nexus One Froyo build does; include a script to pull it from a known location (e.g. existing firmware / device)
15:11:00<+Gr8K> dm8tbr: no pb with the bounty
15:12:32< AlSutton> The N1 script to pull files from the device & put them in the build tree is at

The bounty is being offered by AndAppStore.

[...] but for an real alpha version we said we want to fix at least WiFi and SGX. For WiFi we even had an bounty and I guess this image is best proof that the bounty has been earned. Furies did the work on it. [...]
Good initiative:) And a big thank to AndAppStore:-D
