Hi, Here is a brief status for the GTA02 wifi driver.
I came back from holidays on Monday, and started to look at the ar6k 2.0 release that we got from Atheros before xmas. After cleaning it a bit (their code is supposed to build and run on several platforms, from QNX to WinCE), I integrated it on my local openmoko kernel. Then after building and flashing it, the 2.0 module I have here got detected and powered up on the first try. Messing with it a bit more, and I managed to associate with my AP. So, after a week of work on this driver, here is what has been achieved: - Scanning works fine (the scanning results were filtered by default). - We associate to an unencrypted and WEP AP. - I managed to scp several gigabytes from my desktop to the GTA02, over an open or WEP connection. The throughput, although not quite meaningful, was a 360 Kbytes/s. and here is what hasn't been tested or is known to not work so well (in priority order) - When I try to scp or ssh from my desktop into my GTA02, the throughput is very low. Things eventually get done, but very slowly. It seems to be a power saving issue (our module seems to be missing some frames which leads to a lot of TCP retransmission), I need to verify that. - WPA (1 or 2) hasn't been tested yet. - For some reason, udhcpc isn't able to send a DHCP request over 802.11. The SDIO host controller never gets any request, so this doesn't seem to be a driver issue, but it needs to be fixed regardless. Cheers, Samuel.
