There's:

  
http://medan.cinnamonpirate.com/pool/non-free/l/linux-extramodules-2.6.27.1-medan/linux-extramodules-2.6.27.1-medan_2.6.27.1.medan.20090205-5_mipsel.deb

which doesn't include any source code, but I don't think it is non-free.

The battery stuff comes from:

  http://dev.lemote.com/git?p=ec_module.git;a=summary

  (I'll get this merged into the gNewSense builds)

as for the wifi changes I have no idea.  I guess D-- patched the stock
driver in Linux.  Perhaps you can ask him about it?
