Dear linux-wireless developers, I recently acquired a few Dell DW1601 cards and after a few initial searches it sounded like they could be used to connect to each other. Now it seems that they do not have the wifi connectivity enabled, just WBE.
relevant lspci output: 03:00.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Wilocity Ltd. Wil6200 PCI Express Root Port [1ae9:0101] (rev 04) 04:00.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Wilocity Ltd. Wil6200 PCI Express Port [1ae9:0200] (rev 04) 04:02.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Wilocity Ltd. Wil6200 Wireless PCI Express Port [1ae9:0201] (rev 14) 04:03.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Wilocity Ltd. Wil6200 Wireless PCI Express Port [1ae9:0201] (rev 14) 05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01) So the wifi device does not show up. Seems it needs a different firmware. The old linuxwireless wiki [http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wil6210/index.html] tells me that I should contact Wilocity to get the wifi enabled firmware. As they were bought by Qualcomm this is no longer possible, The current wiki just says: "We need to get this publicly available…" Is there any way to get this firmware and then flash it to the card/load it? Thanks a lot!
