I have a i.MX51 (arm) based system. Sharp PC-Z1 and I am trying to get a USB Dongle WIFI working. (The internal one died) The usb stick is a RT2870 device and the system does have /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin It also has /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-15-araneo/drivers/staging/rt2870 Makefile and Kconfig but that is all. no rt2870sta.ko etc Is it possible I have enough on the system to complete the generation of the needed file to enable this device? It's Ubuntu 9.04 tom |

Well I took the driver from the chipset manufacturer and compiled it. The Netwalker not surprisingly has gcc and full linux headers installed on it. I have gotten the device to install and after discovering that the USB ID of my device was missing from the source (added USB_DEVICE() to a table) it is now seen and comes up as ethernet device ra0 the network manager does not see it, so I may need to configure it by hand. Which would really stink when I change access points. tom |
