Quoting PAN Sunny S K <sunnypan@xxxxxx>:
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
Please check your facts. MadWifi trunk supports AR9160 just fine, albeit without 802.11n support. If it doesn't work for you, please report it to the MadWifi mailing list.
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.
Reports about errors without exact error messages are useless most of the time. One error message should be enough.
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?
You didn't describe the problem enough for somebody else to reproduce it and identify it as being the same problem as the one you are experiencing.
