WILINK-SW: WiLink8 module enumeration in Android

Peter Steinberg

Part Number: WILINK-SW

We've got a custom board with a WiLink8 module running Android Marshmallow.

Normally everything works just fine, but if the system is powered up with a USB wireless adapter installed that USB adapter gets assigned as wlan0 and the WiLink8 modules gets assigned as wlan1.

Is there some way to change this so the WiLink8 module is always assigned as wlan0?

This seems readily achievable in Linux via udev, but I can't find a way to do this in Android.

Thanks,

Hi Peter,

This issue seems more related to android than WL18xx device specific. Have you tried asking on android support forum?

Best regards,
Vihang

The Android forum (http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/android/) is marked as Read-Only, so I cannot post there.

I was referring to the developer.android.com/support.html

I posted on a couple of the Android Kernel & porting forums from there a couple of weeks ago without getting a response.

I did not post to the general development forums as they are aimed at application development.
