Default Wi-Fi driver to load on Cingular 2125 with i-Mate ROM?

Before I get 10 replies saying "Cingular 2125 doesn't have Wi-Fi", let me say "I know". I have a Cingular 2125, which I understand is a variant of the HTC Faraday. I updated the ROM on this device to the newest i-Mate SP5 AKU2 ROM. The ROM has support for the Wi-Fi hardware in the SP5, and the Wi-Fi settings menu shows up on phone now after updating the ROM.

What I am wondering is if the Cingular 2125 phone that I have is a special version made for Cingular that is stripped of the Wi-Fi hardware?
Or is it possible that it has the Wi-Fi hardware / chipset that Cingular has someone disabled.

After loading the SP5 AKU2 ROM, The Wi-Fi Connection Status says "Driver not loaded", not "Hardware not present"--which may not mean anything, but I was curious if anyone who is more familiar with the inside of the HTC Faraday variants would know more about this.

Thanks,
Andrew

Why asking if you give the answer in your own post.

No hardware so driver will not load. Same reason, different message.
When I die, I want to die like my grandfather, who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

I'm asking if anyone has verified that the 2125 does not have WiFi hardware versus just thinking that it doesn't because it has been disabled.

To answer your question, it does not have the WiFi hardware on the device.

Default AKU 2 & a2dp on 2125

I have an HTC/cingular 2125 (Faraday) & love it But I need to
1. Unlock it
2. Flash to AKU 2.x ROM
3. And get a2dp out of the deal

Do you know of an AKU 2.x ROM that will work on my 2125?
My 2125 is still locked and I have tried one utility but it failed to unlock.
All I really want is a2dp so I can use my fantastic iPHONO bluetooth headsets (that I bought almost two months ago, for this phone).
PLEASE help.
And can you "un-flash" a ROM if it does not work IF the ROM flash bombs out & the 2125 won't boot to Windows?

NOTE: For WiFi on 2125, try looking at this post:

(it is about the mini-SD Wi-Fi 802.11b card from Spectec - SDW-822)

THANKS,
Jim
