[Gumstix-users] Problem with Ambicom/Global Wireless WL1100C-CFC WiFi Card

[Shahin F. <sh...@ee...>]

The gumstix wiki indicates that some individuals have been able to use the
Ambicom (known here in the US as Global Wireless) WL110CFC on a gumstix.
Unfortunately, we get the following error when trying to load the wlan0
interface:

 

hostap_cs: Registered netdevice wifi0 hostap_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq
49, io 0xc4860000-0xc486003f prism2_enable_aux_port: was not enabled!?
prism2_enable_aux_port(0) timed out hostap_cs: Initialization failed

 

We even tried upgrading to the newest version of hostap suite.  We also get
this warning:

 

Warning: Driver for device wifi0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension,
but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may
not be available

 

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
