Hi,
I am trying to use the ar9170 driver with the netgear wn111v2, on an
arm9 platform.
I compiled the modules, and the driver loads fine:
Module Size Used by
ar9170usb 51188 1
mac80211 170216 1 ar9170usb
ath 7304 1 ar9170usb
cfg80211 120852 3 ar9170usb,mac80211,ath
rfkill_backport 15524 1 cfg80211
compat 2336 2 mac80211,cfg80211
compat_firmware_class 7072 2 ar9170usb
pegasus 18052 0
ohci_hcd 18428 0
g_file_storage 21212 0
at91_udc 12696 1 g_file_storage
My issue is about the firmware, ar9170.fw. It is not found.
I tried w/o luck 2 options:
1) loaded from user space under /lib/firmware
2) build the kernel 2.6.29 with ar9170.fw.
With option (1), the only thing I see under /sys/class/firmware is the
pseudo file timeout,
no filename for 60" (like I think it should).
Note that I have tried also an 802.11G adapter (iogear gwus23) with the
very same issue.
But in this case, the 'old' kernel I am using for arm9 (2.6.29) has
support for this 802.11g adapter,
and when I build it with 2.6.29 (therefore not using compat-wireless), I
have no issue regarding
loading the firmware (from user-space).
If anybody had any idea what I am doing wrong or missing, I would really
appreciate it!
Regards,
Olivier
