Hello,

Could anybody explain step by step how to install the wifi module on the gesbc9260s board? My linux knowledge is just basic and I'm lost with the kernel's compilation and so on... I use Ubuntu with the kernel 2.6.31-14-generic on my PC and have already installed arm-linux-gcc-3.3.
I tried to use the buildroot but there's no configuration with the wireless package for at91sam9620.

Help please!

Depends on the WIFI module you are using.  If it is supported by the kernel built-in driver then it can be configured through kernel configuration.  Otherwise you need to compile the driver as module and load the module when system boots.

Hello,

I've gave up this subject for a while but now I'd like to return to my development. I can't still install the wifi module on my SBC. I've compiled the VNT6656 driver on my PC and tried to install the vntwusb.ko file on the board. Below is the error message displayed:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/vntwusb.ko
insmod: can't insert '/lib/modules/2.6.25/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/vntwusb.ko': invalid module format

Do you think that it's a problem with my cross compiler?

Regards,

Daniel

The module must be complied for the exact running kernel.  The factory installed file system already has a WIFI module for the 2.6.25 kernel.

You mean vntwusb.ko driver is included in 2.6.25? I use vt6656 usb wifi device  and the kernel on my SBC9260S is 2.6.27.4 (downloaded from the Glomation support site. The iwconfig is there but my device is not recognised as wifi adapter.
If the module for my wifi device is included in uImage of the 2.6.25 kernel may you tell me where could I download it?

Thanks

The factory installed file system has the module in /lib/module/2.6.25 directory.  The 2.6.25 kernel is attached.

Thank you for uImage file but now there is the problem with the boot of my SBC - it can't recognize the filesystem. It works well with the uImage 2.6.27.4 found on your site. Have you any idea what happens?
I've got similar problem when I try co compile the kernel by myself.

The MTD name for Atmel processor based hardware was changed from at91_nand to atmel_name from 2.6.27 and up.  You need to change the MTD name to match your kernel version in U-boot environment variable bootargs.
