Firstly: I too am wondering about how p54spi relates to wifi. I have it built as a module, but modprobing it does nothing; at least I don't get any new interfaces and dmesg shows nothing. My impression is that it's essentially stlc45xx, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Pointers?


andy: tmr's patches aren't for 2.6.34-rc3, or even the linux-omap-2.6 tree. I used Termana's on the mainline 2.6.33. The steps I went through:

1. Download linux-2.6.33 from kernel.org

2. Download linux-2.6.33.2 patches from kernel.org

3. Download termana's patches

4. Extract kernel source and patches

5. Patch with tmr's patches (cd /path/to/linux-2.6.33; patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-2.6.33.1-tmr.patch). Everything should apply without any output/fuzz, except the Makefile patch will fail. That's OK, it only changes the version number (which you can easily do yourself)

6. Patch to 2.6.33.2 (cd /path/to/linux-2.6.33; patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-2.6.33.2.patch). Everything should apply cleanly.

7. Add the toolchain to your PATH (export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/toolchain/bin)

8. Change options (make n8*0_defconfig; ARCH=arm make menuconfig)

9. Build (CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm make zImage modules)

Note that you'll have to substitute actual names and paths.
