[Madwifi-devel] ARM HAL for Atheros AR5006x (AR5414a)

[ROSSIER D. <Dan...@he...>]

Hello,

Yes, I think as you; I expect the driver should work for ARM too.
Unfortunately, I've not succeeded yet with something working.

Everything seems to behave correctly, except that the board doesn't send
anything (no RX frame) when I'm doing ifconfig wifi0 up (the interface
appears correctly); although I'm sure the board fetches the RX
descriptor correctly; but nothing then happens, no RX interrupts,
nothing! Just a bit like the RX was not enabled correctly or something
like that

So, has anybody already done some experience with the HAL for xscale-le
and the AR5006x generation board ? (the Unex board
is the CM10, with a AR5414 chipset).

Thanks so much for any help, greatly appreciated -).

Daniel

HAL support for the various chipsets is usually independant of the
architecture, but on the HAL revision. For example, if a chipset is
support in MadWifi v0.9.3 on x86, it's safe to assume that this chipset
is
also supported on all other platforms with the same version of MadWifi.
