Thanks for the pointers. I don't have a cubietruck, just trying to hlep those who do and wanted to use SOA. Triode's cubietruck installer was built to pull in firmware http://dl.cubieforums.com/patwood/ap6210.zip and preseeds "/etc/modules-load.d/cubie.conf" with bcmdhd as one of a list of modules. Clearly this must have been fine at the time. But it seems is no longer correct. The installer pulls in "ArchLinuxARM-sun7i-latest.tar.gz" as the root filesystem, which I think must use the SUNXI kernel, and is currently at version 3.4.103-5. The two threads on the arch arm linux forum I linked to above ( see #1319 ) contain contradictory posts. One says this: "-Problem is fixed by module ap6210 that got introduced in 3.4.103-5 and has to be used instead of bcmdhd. Regarding WLAN the module behaves the same as bcmdhd. In particular, it's using the same firmware and doesn't get auto-loaded." - I checked the fs tarball does contain a kernel moudle for ap6210, but I don't know what should be in /lib/firmware. ( Which bits of /public/Cubieboard/benn/firmware/ap6210 are relevant and who should they be used?) Others say they can't get it to work with the 3.4.103-5 kernel even after blacklisting bcmdhd. The only person reporting sucess is after they first did this: Code: -------------------- wget -O /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43362-sdio.txt http://dl.cubieboard.org/public/Cubieboard/benn/firmware/ap6210/nvram_ap6210.txt -------------------- and then replaced the SUNXI kernel with the multi-platform arch arm kernel and module packag, currently based on kernel 3.19 Code: -------------------- pacman -Syu linux-armv7 -------------------- So, that's about as clear as mud to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
