WNA1100 support in the kernel #19

Open ghost opened 11 years ago

ghost commented 11 years ago

In the default kernel config file, CONFIG_ATH_COMMON is set, but it seems that there is no support for AR9271 based devices, as CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC is not set.

Should I set it manually or is the WNA1100 supported by another driver?

botbench commented 11 years ago

There is currently an issue with enabling additional wifi based modules as LEGO backported some stuff into the kernel tree and caused some breakage in the process.

So if I understand you correctly, LEGO patched the DaVinci official kernel to make the one for the EV3 ?

botbench commented 11 years ago

Yes, that is correct.

find out that ath9k support is in lmsfs.tar.bz2, although couldnt find the way its build.

Also WNA1000 drivers can be backported

rtl8192cu compiles correctly for the ev3 kernel target from http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.39/compat-wireless-2.6.39-1.tar.bz2

those can then be installed inside lmsfs to work.
