Re: [Gumstix-users] Wifi does not work on overo fire

[stuart68 <stu...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is not the problem or even a problem, it is some unsupported features
that report themselves in a very bad way. Please ignore these two failures,
they really are not failures.

Also, to get wifi working search through this forum to find your answer.

You will need to ensure that /etc/modules has "smsc911x" at the end of it.
If it doesn't use the cat command to add it.

Then you will have to look into /etc/network/interfaces files to ensure that
wifi will work as you require. Getting wpa to work is well documented and
relatively easy to do. You'll need to create /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and
cut'n'paste the result of running wpa_passphrase "your ssid" "your
password".

Then in /etc/network/interfaces add

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp 
   pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B

Hope this helps. If not please have a search there is tons of help in the
forum.
