RE: wl18xx: wlconf kernel compatibility

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
As the configuration file is HW depended it should be created per platform,
we have set this wiki page and script to help with initial setup :
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Open_Source_Wireless_Connectivity_wlconf

We have also pushed a patch that makes sure the driver will not crash if there is a file size mismatch, 
and will fall back to default.

Regards,
Yaniv
