Ditto ... at least in terms of "iwlist scan" finding a decent set of networks. I think something probably should be done to keep that chip powered down when it's not in use; it's quite toasty. I'm not sure whether that issue comes from the libertas driver, the SDIO stack, or somewhere else (hsmmc glue). > This version is much more easily available from the Marvell site.

Copy both .bin files to your omap system's /lib/firmware > directory and rename helper_sd.bin to sd8686.bin. Or, for the record, add them to your kernel "firmware" directory and using Kconfig set CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="sd8686_helper.bin sd8686.bin" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="firmware" It adds some bloat to the kernel (128+ KBytes) but is painless in terms of rootfs configuration. - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
