how to upgrade 2008.8 kernel

[VictorSigma]

Upgrading the kernel is the same thing as 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner#Flashing_the_Kernel
flashing the kernel.

the kernel files have the name "U-Image.....bin" in them. Pick one from the 
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/ daily-builds  and flash it.
The command should loo something like this....
sudo ./dfu-util -a kernel -R -D qtUI.bin 

upgrading the kernel may solve some problems but may cause others. For
instance it fixed my battery indicator but disabled ssh. Good luck.
