Hi, I'm interested in hacking the libertas driver to run on an Axis ETRAX FS with a heavily-patched 2.6.19 kernel.[1] It's a discontinued CPU and also a big jump from the >= 2.6.24 kernels supported by compat-wireless. However, support for this target would mean that wireless CompactFlash cards[2] could be used to broadcast live audio/video wirelessly from Elphel cameras[3]. Current Elphel models are limited to USB 1.1 (too slow for video) and the only other option that comes to mind is attaching a wireless router to the Ethernet port. Newer Elphel models are unlikely to be released in the near future and it would take a lot of development effort to update the kernel in current models. Is libertas support for this embedded system feasible? I attempted to build compat-wireless against the Elphel kernel sources and successfully generated a long list of errors with 'make --keep-going' after commenting out unnecessary parts of the Makefile. The build log may be found at [4]. Sincerely, George [1] Running code on the ETRAX FS CPU requires use of gcc-cris. [2] Such as the AmbiCom WL54CF, which powers up and fits nicely into the Elphel NC353L-369 [3] http://www.elphel.com/353_turnkey [4] http://is.gd/zFczww -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
