Re: [Gumstix-users] Wifistix not working in 1093?

[<And...@no...>]

Bad news :-( ... I compiled the default 1092 (make defconfig - make),
and still showing the same message:

=20

Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :

    SET failed on device mwlan0 ; No such device.

=20

It seems to be really defective.

Andre,

I recommend that you revert to build 1092 -- this worked for me.  If
that doesn't work then you may indeed have a bad part.

The command for checking out version 1092 is:

svn co -r1092 http://svn.gumstix.com/gumstix-buildroot/trunk
gumstix-buildroot

Good luck!

Steve

Thanks for your tip Dave,

I just tried your build 1088 from
http://davehylands.com/gumstix-wiki/rootfs/

I loaded the file rootfs.1088.cf and the WIFISTIX still not working.
Apparently the cfio and mfc25 modules are loaded:

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
mcf25                 199624  0

pxa2xx_core            10208  1 pxa2xx_cs

firmware_class          7968  1 pcmcia
unix                   22100  8
#

But I'm still getting this message during boot:

cfio: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
Before register driver
After register driver
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device mwlan0 ; No such device.

Is there any other trick to put WIFISTIX to work or it's time to think
that I was lucky, receiving a defective device?=20

BR,
Gava

Hi Andre,

The problem is that the kernel won't load modules that are compiled
for a different version.=20

So with a 2.6.18 kernel, you need modules compiled for 2.6.18. The
cfio.ko files currently in SVN will only work on a 2.6.17 kernel.

The simplest thing is to back down to release 1092 until Craig puts up=20
some newer versions of cfio.ko
