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?
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!
Thanks! Tom

Tom,
sure, I have an XM and a USB Bluetooth. I guess I can get a USB WiFi if I have to. But I agree that drivers can be an obstacle. What I don't have is a lot of spare time :-)
But keep me in the loop.

As the subject says. Looking for someone with either a beagle or beagle xm board and has a USB Wifi. We'd like to knock off a bug. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to me directly. Thanks!
Hi Tom,
Is there a specific USB WiFi chipset your targeting, or just working WiFi in general?
WiFi in general. In short we'd like to extend WiFi support into our developer image.
