usb-based wifi access point

Hi Shilpa,

You can refer http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_to_test_USB_wifi which is for DWA-125 using rt3070 driver from ralink.

BR,

Thankyou viet for your immediate reply. DWA-125 USB adapter doesn't have access point support. Do you know any other adapter that we can use?

Thanks,

Shilpa.

Shilpa,

Because of the known issue with the CPPI DMA wrapper around the MUSB core document in our Silicon Errata, we are not recommending any.

If you still wants to use a USB wifi dongle then we can only recommend that the USB driver be used in PIO mode only (i.e. disabling DMA).  We have only tested in PIO mode with Realtek wifi dongle model info: “WLAN 11n micro usb adapter 1t1r” using the rtl8192 chipset.

BR,

Viet,

Thankyou. That's exactly what we are looking for. Is it possible to send us a detailed procedure of setting up the EVM to run in access point mode?

THanks,

SHilpa. 

Hi Viet,

Is there any guidance/support exists for am3517/05 ext. usb wifi ?

Will it support ralink5370 with 2.6.37 arm-kernel?
