Regarding Belkin wireless USB adapter

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

 



Hi,
I am trying to use Belkin Wireless G USB adapter(uses trl8187 driver)
on ARM board. I am tesing this with x86 and ARM board (BeagleBoard).

My problem is, this adapter works fine with my Ubuntu
laptop(v2.6.29-rc2) using NetworkManager because of udev.

I tried to run wpa_supplicant from command line as,
 wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
It gives error "Failed to read or parse configuration
'/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'"
Because, my laptop doesn't have /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file, But
still wireless network works fine.

I don't have wpa_supplicant in ARM rootfs, hence want to know
Does wpa_supplicant is necessary to make this USB wireless adapter work?

Also, is /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf necessary in rootfs, since device
works fine without this file on my laptop.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Shivdas
