	Wifi does not work on overo fire by waterbunny :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Is there any reason why wifi on overo fire does not work with the pre-built image v.92? (http://www.gumstix.net/overo-gm-images/) When booting I get the following: lib80211: common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers libertas_sdio: Libertas SDIO driver libertas_sdio: Copyright Pierre Ossman libertas_sdio mmc1:0001:1: firmware: requesting sd8686_helper.bin libertas_sdio mmc1:0001:1: firmware: requesting sd8686.bin libertas: 00:19:88:10:fe:cf, fw 9.70.3p24, cap 0x00000303 eth0 (libertas_sdio): not using net_device_ops yet libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x00a3 failed: 2 libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x00a3 failed: 2 libertas: eth0: Marvell WLAN 802.11 adapter How to repair that and where is the problem? Is the gumstix faulty or what;)?

Please ignore these two failures, they really are not failures. Also, to get wifi working search through this forum to find your answer. You will need to ensure that /etc/modules has "smsc911x" at the end of it. If it doesn't use the cat command to add it. Then you will have to look into /etc/network/interfaces files to ensure that wifi will work as you require. Getting wpa to work is well documented and relatively easy to do. You'll need to create /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and cut'n'paste the result of running wpa_passphrase "your ssid" "your password". Then in /etc/network/interfaces add auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B Hope this helps. If not please have a search there is tons of help in the forum. Stuart waterbunny wrote: Is there any reason why wifi on overo fire does not work with the pre-built image v.92?

	Re: Wifi does not work on overo fire by waterbunny :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi, thanks for your help, Stuart. I found another thread in the mailing list (Overo Air WiFi Module not working with provided Gumstix images) and so I downloaded one of Sakoman's.. When I added something like that in /etc/network/interfaces: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp the firmware crashed when booting;) Maybe it could be helpful how I solved the problem. This (unencrypted) example works for me: allow-hotplug wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless_mode managed wireless_essid gumstix BTW: what is the difference between Sakoman's images and the provided ones?

But, whatever works for you :-) > BTW: what is the difference between Sakoman's images and the provided ones? When Gumstix is preparing to build a new batch of modules they use one of my most recent builds. I then tag that build with a v0.9x label and post the image to the Gumstix site. So my builds are basically a preview of what will get put onto future module builds. My builds are normally just top of overo-oe tree.

	Re: Wifi does not work on overo fire by waterbunny :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I think I used 'vi'. Simply type something like 'vi filename'. Move the cursor to a random position and type 'i' for insert. Then type your text, hit 'esc' when done. Then ':' followed by 'wq' for write and quit.
