Failed to find firmware

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

 



Hello everyone,

I cross-compiled a Kernel (2.6.37.2) to run on an ARM device (Gumstix Overo).

Now I would like to use two Wifi devices: the on-board Marvell 88W8686 based chip as well as an Atheros based TP-LINK USB stick. The problem is, however, that every time I load the libertas and the atheros modules, it fails with the errors
'libertas: failed to find firmware (-2)' and
'ath9k_htc: Firmware - ar9271.fw not found', respectively. I've attached all related log messages at the bottom of this mail.

As you can see, the firmware files are present in /lib/firmware:

root@lba09:~ # ls -lR /lib/firmware/
/lib/firmware/:
-rw-r--r--    1 root  root      51312 May 31  2011 ar9271.fw

-rw-r--r--    1 root  root    2616 May 31  2011 sd8688_helper.bin

These files are from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/dwmw2/firmware/linux-firmware-20110518.tar.gz

Do the modules look for firmware in other places besides /lib/firmware? I also tried copying them to /var/lib/firmware without success.

Or does anybody have another idea what could be wrong?

Thank you,
Ulrich
