Aiya! Let's all take it down a notch. Luc is a little gruff sometimes (okay, a lot of times), but he usually has a valid point. The issue is you're asking us to help you make some random wifi device work without giving us any more details about what this random device is or even something that might help us figure that out (like the fex file or even photos of the chips on the board). Usually what you need to do to get a wifi device to work is identify what it is and then load the appropriate module in the kernel. Occasionally the manufacturer has screwed up the fex file (the compiled version being script.bin), but it's best to start with just making sure the proper driver/kernel module is loaded. I also think the wiki points out that the fex file is gotten by using the sunxi-tools to "decompile" the script.bin file and then is stored in the github repo. You can submit a pull request to the boards repo, but it may not be accepted until it's clear that this board is going to work with everything else (which is demonstrated by completing a page in the wiki). The wiki page example also has a link to the wiki's upload page to upload photos of the device and board. As with any open source community, there's a give and take. There's often too many people who just want to take what they need and then go away and that often annoys the people who tend to give a lot more than they take. Luc is a person who gives way more than he takes in this community. Since you're new, and you're simply asking along the lines of "make my device work", it'd be natural to assume that you're in the "just take" column until proven otherwise. Going through the New Device Howto and sharing everything you can about your device shows that you're in the "give" column. -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
