I have 2 challenges with the current version Froyo 2_2 devkit for the DM3730 .

1) the prebuilts do not appear to have WLAN support built in and the wiki only speaks of the command line options in the context of a Linux SDK

I would like to know how to access the WLAN CLI from the Froyo command line. The GUI interface just indicates a WIFI "error."

2) Assuming I needed to rebuild the kernel and fs to include WLAN support I followed the SW dev kit documents.

However, after loading the Android toolchain, and starting the build process an error occurs: ln: creating symbolic link 'include/asm'' Operation not permitted.

Yes, the Froyo 2_2 release of TI android devkit for DM37 does not support wireless.

A devkit release with wireless support is in the works. It will be released shortly.

Meanwhile you can try out the community version from our rowboat repository. http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/wiki/ConfigureAndBuild

Please use the manifest file rowboat-froyo-dsp.xml. This now includes wireless support. You should be able to use WLAN from android GUI as in the AM37x prebuilt image

repo init -u git://gitorious.org/rowboat/manifest.git -m rowboat-froyo-dsp.xml
