This has been gone over many many times... the hardware is not capable on the S1 for WiFi.

There is no Wifi radio in 9530. Has nothing to do with software.

Ditto... We've all (at least I've) heard at least one of 2 stories on WIFI. 1. The Storm 1 Processor has "WIFI functions" but there is no WIFI radio hardware to support it. 2. The Storm 1 has WIFI functions in Hardware but they are disabled in hardware so no software can enable them. Pick your story...

Either way, no WIFI ever.

I don't know where you heard these "stories" but from the beginning the S1
was not built with a WIFI radio. So there is no hardware or software for it.
People just like to make stuff up.

The "stories" came from the original pre-press releases on the storm and the Qualcomm MSM7600 (processor used in the Storm1) datasheets. Before there were official RIM specs released the news media used the Qualcomm specs as a function reference. So, yeah they were made up! The MSM7600 can do WIFI if it had associate radio hardware and were installed in a different phone other than the Storm1.

I agree with the you. There is no WIFI radio hardware on the Storm1. But I do find the WIFI on the Storm1 topic resurfacing because the Storm2 has WIFI to be just a little entertaining. We are going to see more posts on this!
