Could you please tell me how to install AR6000 (WLAN over SDIO) driver on EVM?  I have compiled the AR6000 driver as modules using the patch 14 of davinci kernel.

I have gotten the following dynamic modules : sdio_lib.ko sdio_davinci_hcd.ko sdio_busdriver.ko ar6000.ko. Please give me some help. Thanks very much.

 

Best Regards,

Jeff

    I thought I just answered this, although starting this new thread is probrably a good idea.

    Please see the following wiki with regards to WLAN

    Unfortunately as Juan mentions the only Wifi documentation we have is the USB based on the Wiki (at least that I know of). I do know that the SDIO stack was ported to some extent to the DM644x and as such it will probably function on DM355 as well, however as I have no AR6000 module I could not try it out myself.

    Do you get errors when you try to insmod the modules? At what point are you unable to get the SDIO based Wifi to work?

    Hi jeff,

     

    insmod sdio_lib.ko

    insmod sdio_busdriver.ko

    insmod sdio_davinci_hcd.ko

    insmod ar6000.ko

    then you should have iwconfig or something else to config wep and ip.

     

    And I've ported this driver to dm644x.

    Have you tried the USB approach on the wiki above?  I believe it was written from a 2.6.10 perspective, but it may work with 2.6.18 as well.

    It appears there is no SDIO WLAN support on our LSP 2.00 software (based on 2.6.18); it has come to our knowledge that there is an untested (and thus unsupported) patch to 2.6.18 kernel floating around which may help with SDIO WLAN solution (imrpoves SD/MMC support, but falls short of providing SDIO WLAN solution).  we are currently trying to get a hold of it, but as I mentioned, it is unsupported and we would provide it as-is.  Let us know if you think this mught help.

    Hello,

     

    I am having problems installing my RaLink 2770F Wifi USB card in my DV355-EVM. I followed the Wireless USB Network and Davinci USB Wlan wiki, and with both solution I could not manage to enable "iwconfig" to configure my Wifi network. I managed to compile a driver module for the ralink card based on the linux driver from the ralink website, and it works fine. When I type "ifconfig", the target recognizes the wlan0 new network. But I tried many configuration combinations on the kernel menuconfig, and none of them enabled the "iwconfig" command.

    Is there a way to configure the Wifi without "iwconfig"? If not, what are the options I have to set in the kernel to enable this command?

    I am using DVSDK 3.10.0.19 and Arago distribution for Linux 2.6.32-rc2-davinci1.

    Help! :)
