Re: [Gumstix-users] no wlan0 on overo airstorm/yocto/console build

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Yes, the rootfs
http://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/gumstix-yocto/Releases/2013-08-09/overo/dev/gumstix-console-image-overo.tar.bz2that
is associated with uImage 3.5.0 loads modules and iwconfig, ifconfig,
wpa_supplicant, etc. work fine. However, the rootfs is missing the dhclient
application. Someone must have recognized this problem and generated the
rootfs
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/yocto/dhclient-issue/gumstix-console-image-overo.tar.bz2that
is associated with kernel 3.5.7. Notice the build even says
dhclient-issue in the directory tree.

The problem at http://gumstix.org/download-prebuilt-images.html for yocto
overo is the uImage for kernel 3.5.0 and is not compatible with the posted
console rootfs that is based on 3.5.7.

To move forward, I recommend that gumstix posts a rootfs and uImage based
on the same kernel that supports dhclient. Otherwise, any customer that
wants to use wifi with wpa/wpa2 and console will have the same problem.

For now, I am forced to learn how to build my own uImage and rootfs, which
is not where I wanted to spend my time. If anyone has a quick guide on how
to build the rootfs and uImage, I would be appreciative.

Thanks
