I have the following boards: connex 400xm - (October 2005 - unknown revision) CFstix - B00024-R324 Netgear MA701 - (At the time, the only reliable wifi card for the gumstix) Is there anyone out there that has a similar setup that can explain to me how to get the wifi working with the latest revision of the buildroot? Would it be easier to just purchase a wifistix? Do they work well? Are they easy to set up? I also have the following never-used CompactFlash cards if anyone wants to buy them: \ (of course I've never been able to get them to work with the gumstix) Linksys WCF12 (Wireless-B) Linksys WCF54g (Wireless-G) Brian Gregory |

I am using the Verdex with a Linksys USB WiFi dongle. After running "modprobe ohci_hcd", the Verdex seems to recognize the dongle, but only as a plain ethernet adapter. I can run "ifup usb0", but it's not enabling wireless extensions, and I can't run "iwconfig" on it. Is there another step I need to do to instruct it to enable wireless extensions? Thank you, Bryan |

You also need to install the appropriate driver (if one is available) for the dongle in question. To figure out which driver to use, you need to know which chipset to use. Try doing: mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb lsusb -v -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

I turned this up using the commands you suggested: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 13b1:0020 Linksys A search for 13b1:0020 on google turns up "ralink" and "rt73" drivers, neither of which seem to be part of the Gumstix buildroot. Does it go by another name? Thank you, Bryan On Wed, 2007-05-30 at 00:11 -0700, Dave Hylands wrote: > Hi Bryan, > > > I am using the Verdex with a Linksys USB WiFi dongle.

It looks like the very latest buildroot from svn has "Ralink" in it -- I'm building it now and testing. Hopefully it "just works".

Jeff, For your DLink, after loading rt2570, what do you do to bring up the interface? "ifup eth0"? It's entirely possible I'm getting the commands wrong or being "presumptuous" about the interfaces -- please correct me!

note on /etc/modprobe.conf aliases in here just allow you to modprobe from either name not much more Its ussually unneeded. to acctually get the device to use a different name you would have to pass an argument to the driver.

rt73 driver can also be found on seamonkey pages you should use that driver. make sure it is loaded with lsmod you might need to run "depmod" once to get the module listed in the modules that can be loaded. rt73 driver is slightly different for now from what I read you can sorta use wpa_supplicant with it.

Dave, I picked up a DLink USB Wifi dongle -- what driver do you load? I'm running the latest buildroot on the Verdex, and like the Linksys, the DLink is being recognized as an Ethernet devic but not as a wireless device.

yah from what I read and from what I can find in stores you are mostly out of luck finding anything in stores. I had to get my second d-Link from ebay and am hoping for the new card I mentioned earlier to get to my house so I can try it out. If I get it working I'd recommend it. the zd1211rw driver http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw looks to me to be a more stable driver with a better development group. I'm not giving up on rt2x00 but until I can start using rt2x00 driver(read the mailing list on this if you want to know more) I'll put it aside.

Out of curiosity, does the Verdex buildroot contain any other Wifi USB drivers at all, other than RT2570?

not any usb wifi card will do for the gumstix you need a card with an opensource driver. For an x86 with enough space just about any would do with ndiswrapper being a fall back. For a non-x86 architecture this becomes null and void. It could still theoretically be done but too hard for me. You'd need to emulate an x86 (I don't think there is enough resources) I mentioned not too long ago what D-Link I had partnumber and version info. It had a chipset that worked with the rt2570 driver. I recently bought a Airlink AWLL3026 which I'm excited about it will use the zd1211rw driver On 5/30/07, Jeff Sadowski <jef...@gm...> wrote: > what kind of linksys? > whats the part number on it? > > On 5/30/07, Bryan Field-Elliot <bry...@ne...> wrote: > > > > P.S.

Linksys WUSB54GC Compact Wireless-G USB Adpater and DLink WUA-2340 USB 2.0 (Wireless) adapter Both give me the same symptoms -- - boot up Verdex (latest buildroot from svn) - run "modprobe ohci-hcd" - run "ifup usb0" In both cases usb0 is showing up as an Ethernet device but not a Wireless device.

ifup is a bit presumptuous. so it knows to load the driver and you have the device already? could be loading a wrong driver. usb0 doesn't sound like a wifi device to me what drivers are loaded? lsmod? For my DLink to get it working I used the rt2570 drivers that is what the people from rt2x00 serialmonkey mailing list suggested. With that driver I have the card working with wep but I want wpa_supplicant so I looked for an open source driver then I bought a card that I know has the right chip. I can't wait to let everyone know how that works.
