[ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
... and not only bleeding edge wifi drivers, but actually bluetooth drivers too, and several others, in a single package.
here You will need kernel-power v50 installed. Package is build using source from here Many thanks to lxp for his job backporting those to n900. @lxp - I would ask you if you want to become the package maintainer, after all it is you who did most of the work and I don't think it is fair myself to be entitled "the only maintainer" just because of some files in debian/ directory. Thanks again for the wonderful job you've done. |

Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
Do the replacement modules in this package get loaded automatically by the system (preferred over the power50 versions), or should we still manually load/unload if we want to use them? Thanks.

Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
i know wifi driver bleeding edge changes, but when comparing this bluetooth driver with basic one, where can i find any changelog? (the one in package was not very helpful in that case ;) ) btw, i love kernel packages - nearly 100 mb of sources compiled in 300 kb package ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
How to load these wifidrivers? I defenitily like the idea they are in the repos, but just like stlpaul asked, are they loaded by default(after reboot)?
If not, how to (un)load them. In lxps tar was shipped with an load.sh and an unload.sh script for loading and unloading them. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
Oops, sorry, I forgot to answer that question.
So, the drivers are not automatically loaded, you should load them manually. you could use load/unload scripts from lxp's tar, with modified .ko locations. @misiak - NFC what is changed in BT driver, better look http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download for information |
Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
Wow, this is exciting. I will try it out and will provide feedback as necessary. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel

Either: 1. Download it directly (the .deb file) from the link that was given from the first post, or... 2. In Faster Application Manager, click on "Install Apps"...then at the lower right you see "S" and then "C". Press "C" and then there will be a scroll-list. Scroll towards the bottom and select the "Advanced" category. You'll see it listed in there. Hope this helps. :) EDIT: Package name is: "linux-backports-modules-power 2.6.28.10-power50" |

I mean, does the device boot if I replace the originals ones from ck-v50 and reboot ? A++ |
Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
Thank you. I forgot about that option :p

Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel

1. From Faster Application Manager's main menu, choose the option to "Remove" an application. 2. If the app is listed there, it means it was installed (since it is listed as one of the apps that can be removed). |

I hope I can post an updated load.sh + unload.sh script at the end of the day... |

Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
Hi freemangordon,
FYI, last version of cleven is depending to this package: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=590 Unfortunately, I don't see a way to make it work for the past version of KP, but I tried to program it in somehow dynamic way that will be able to work with your future updates too. In specific, I get the KP version number with "uname -r" and feed this to the call that loads the drivers. For example, now the call would return: 2.6.28.10-power50 therefore the path for the drivers will be /opt/lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power50/ If anyone needs more information or see anything wrong in the above, let me know. For the moment, it seems to work great. Cheers |
Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
Is it only 300 kb indeed?
The w1251 drivers are over 400 mb. Must I have that package and the one from this thread? |
Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
@cocegas
you dont need the source code just download the drivers to MyDocs then select the file from the applet ./sifo |
Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
Thanks, for this app it's really useful. But lately I get following error:

Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
If I were you I would've stated what the module path is in the package description for the convenience of those who need to know where they are - not that you can't figure it out otherwise, just be faster that way.
Oh, also, you're really awesome for finally doing this. The lack of a standardized place for these drivers, or any apt-based way to add these drivers to a device during install of something that depends on them, has been a very irritating situation. (I've been meaning to eventually do this myself, but I am a hopelessly broadly interested individual who has way too many things going on in my life at any time to actually get everything I want to get done done. This being one of those things, like almost everything else I want to do with the N900 / Maemo.) So thank you. As for lxp, and whether or not he wants to be the maintainer - I would e-mail him, in my experience he responds to e-mails, but doesn't necessarily pay attention to what's going on here. Quote:

Re: [ANNOUNCE]bleeding-edge WIFI drivers in extras-devel
Last time I checked, it was sucking power like ad-hoc, when connected to AP, but idle. = quite much. I must admit, that I haven't performed any recent tests.
Would do it right now, but I'm on ad-hoc-only network anyway ATM, so ambient conditions are not allowing me to. /Estel |
