Dear Sir, My name is Sunny, I'm from the MTrec group in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. We are currently developing a network device which will utilize the wireless technology. As part of the development, we are examining different reference design from various companies. Currently we've received a MPC8377EWLAN from Freescale which we will need to port our application onto. Our application deployment on other device are currently based on 802.11abg Atheros card with Madwifi driver. Starting with this MPC8377EWLAN, we would like to trial with a new Atheros AR9160 802.11bgn card. Since the chipset is not supported by Madwifi, and the driver provided by Freescale is proprietary and has problem with wlanconfig list scan result, we try to build our own driver instead of relying on Freescale. The MPC8377EWLAN is using a PowerPC architecture MPC8377 CPU and the firmware is built by using Freescale's LTIB, the kernel came with the LTIB is 2.6.25 which is slightly different from the mainstream 2.6.25 kernel. However, when I try to integrate the compat-wireless-old source into the LTIB's 2.6.25 kernel, error comes up in socket.c and many other networking source. Therefore, I'd like to seek for some advice of whether the compat-wireless-old could be compiled with linux kernels that is compiled with BSP like LTIB. And how can I solve the building problem between the compat-wireless-old and the 2.6.25 kernel? Thanks in advance.
