What we want to do for the next linaro release 11.09 is have working USB wifi support out of the box on beagle/beagle xm with the developer image.
Tho you won't have to twist my arm hard at all to include BT in that goal as well Tony :-)
We like to keep the developer image as small as possible so the fun part is keeping this to the minimal number of packages to make it work.
For wifi I BELIEVE we just need to add wireless-tools.
So here's what I'd like you to do.
Grab the developer rootfs - http://snapshots.linaro.org/11.05-daily/linaro-developer/20110831/0/images/t... grab the omap3 hwpack - http://snapshots.linaro.org/11.05-daily/linaro-hwpacks/omap3/20110831/0/imag...
Install to sd with linaro-media-create.
If you can apt-get install wireless-tools and see if that's enough to get your wifi working. If not what else did you need?
Looks like we need to add the config's for a bunch of usb wifi drivers..
root@linaro-developer:~# uname -r 3.0.0-1004-linaro-omap
root@linaro-developer:~# ls /lib/modules/3.0.0-1004-linaro-omap/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ libertas wl12xx
With my test on my beagle i have:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 07d1:3c10 D-Link System DWA-160 Xtreme N Dual Band USB Adapter(rev.A) [Atheros AR9001U-(2)NG]
which uses the CARL9170 driver, the firmware package is ready for it..
root@linaro-developer:~# ls /lib/firmware/ | grep 9170 ar9170-1.fw ar9170-2.fw ar9170.fw carl9170-1.fw
For bluetooth, same Q if you want to have that as a goal as well. It's optional.
Either way I don't have a wifi USB device or BT so your help is essential!
Will retest on my Panda, which has the wl12xx device...
