wilc1000 driver

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

 



So, I'd like to provide some patches for the wilc driver, but I'm
unclear what the most effective way to go about this is.

The driver in mainline (driver/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000) only
seems to support WILC1000 (not WILC3000) and uses firmware:

  atmel/wilc1000_wifi_firmware-1.bin

whereas the linux-at91 driver (driver/staging/wilc1000) supports both
WILC1000 and WILC3000 and uses firmware

  mch/wilc1000_wifi_firmware.bin

(for WILC1000).

For the hardware I have (embedded system with WILC1000/SPI), the
mainline driver doesn't load, whereas the driver from linux-at91 does
load and work(mostly).

I'd really like to work off of mainline since it's much easier to track
things with a repository that's updated frequently, but it looks to me
like the mainline may be missing a lot of code that's already in
linux-at91.

What am I supposed to do?
