missing piece for starting device on embedded system

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

 



I must be missing a piece of the necessary environment to get wireless
started...
This is an embedded environment that has not had wireless previously.

When I plug my rt73 adapter in:

usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 6
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 7
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
phy3 -> rt73usb_validate_eeprom: EEPROM recovery - NIC: 0xffef
phy3 -> rt73usb_validate_eeprom: EEPROM recovery - Led: 0xe000
phy3 -> rt73usb_validate_eeprom: EEPROM recovery - RSSI OFFSET A: 0x0000
phy3 -> rt2x00_set_chip: Info - Chipset detected - rt: 1300, rf: 0002,
rev: 0002573a.
phy3: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel'

But I never get a request_firmware event. This seems to be because the
adapter 's start() function is never called.

I'm missing some piece of the system - a kernel module or some part of
user space.
Can someone give me a clue on how to debug this?

I though it was missing crda but adding that didn't fix it.
