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.

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...

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...

BTW, panda also needs this patch, to enable wl12xx regulator (only for 3.0.x, for 3.1-rc's it's moved to twl-common, yet still needs a simlar tweak):

Hi John,
Here's a list pulled from my stable tree, I have a good pile of random wifi adapters, so i've added notes to config options that i've personally tested..

Thanks Robert.

Andy, don't know if this is at your radar already, but it seems we don't have a similar fix at the TILT tree, but I could be wrong.

I have a 3COM (0ace:1215 ZyDAS ZD1211B 802.11g) around here, will also test with it. Guess the module for this adapter is zd1211rw, and is probably not enabled by default either, but need to check.

WIFI without wpasupplicant is really incomplete in my terms. I don't think you get around including that if you want to claim wifi support.

I have tested this with BBC4/USB wireless adapter with nano 11.08 - which does not have wireless-tools installed. I installed it but was not able to get the wlan to work. Also tested with BBC4 and Ubuntu desktop 11.08, all the tools were there but it does not work "out of the box". The usb wlan is a Linksys/Cisco WUSB54GS.
I'll try to get it working tomorrow afternoon - or feel free to tell me exactly what to test and I'll make it happen.

Yup, we should just include wireless-tools and wpasupplicant, otherwise depending on the network type it's quite a pain to configure.
Just tested with my 3com wifi dongle after recompiling the kernel with CONFIG_ZD1211RW=m (also included at Robert Nelson's config file), and was able to easily configure my network with wpasupplicant.
My config (WPA2): root@linaro-developer:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo usb0 eth0 wlan0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp iface usb0 inet dhcp iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid domonet # hexadecimal psk is encoded from a plaintext passphrase (generated with wpa_passphrase) wpa-psk 3eb95c07d2bcb79599318b239cbf5aefb741ecb66d46d31d95770d926f7e2ad6
