Just subscribed to the LUNA mailing list. As a fellow North
Alabama(Shoals Area)  Linux user I hope you find what you're looking for
at the following link:

I was able to get the wireless-tools off one of the repositories at
gilababy but am still looking for Joikuspot for the Nokia N900
cellphone.  The official Joiku website and the Opera Store no longer
sell it.  I had it on my first Nokia N900 cellphone but can't find yet
where I misplaced it.  I was hoping to find a site with old software. 
Since it is proprietary, I guess it is not available.  And I did pay a
donation or fee at the time I bought it back in circa 2008, 2009, etc.
