Hi TI,
Environment: AM3517, Android 2.3.4, Kernel 2.6.37
I compiled wifi driver as module, ported wifi function into android 2.3.4, and enable wifi in wifi-setting, but it seems that wpa_supplicant service not running correctly,
and the dalvik and android processes will restart repeatly. I can't find out what is the real problem.
the console log:5228.log-console-android-process-restart.txtthe logcat:
2844.log-android-process-restart.txt
Thanks,
Kevin
Kevin,
We currently do not support Wifi on AM3517evm with our DevKit releases. However, it may be possible to solve this issue.
Can you provide more informations about the wifi driver version. Is it from a DevKit release or the latest version from rowboat?
Can you provide the changes you have done for compilation and in init.rc?

Hi Vishveshwar,
In android 2.3, I added these lines into init.rc, no error reported, and my ported wifi works,
# wpa_supplicant socket (unix socket mode) mkdir /data/system/wpa_supplicant 0771 wifi wifi chmod 0771 /data/system/wpa_supplicant chown wifi wifi /data/system/wpa_supplicant
But in android 2.3.4, the android will restart repeatedly with the above lines, after deleleting the lines, It is OK now.

Still not solved, the problem happened again, when I unplug the wifi card. :-(
How are you loading the filesystem?
We have seen issues with WiFi when using NFS filesystem.
Hi Vishveshwar,I am using ubi file system, and boot from NAND.I found there are some changes in frameworks/base/wifi/java/android/net/wifi/WifiStateTracker.java.I made some changes to the file according to that in 2.3, and now it seems ok now,
