Wifi problem

Started by suse auto February 18, 2010
Hi!
I am also getting somewhat similar problem while integrating a azurewave
SDIO wifi card with Marvell's 8686 chip to the AT91SAM9263 board. For this I
am using Linux 2.6.27 kernel with 2.6.27-at91.patch and 2.6.27-at91-exp
patches as given on
http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/LinuxKernel.
While inserting the wifi card.. message displays-
"root@at91sam:~$ mmc0: new SDIO card at address 0001"

Now when I inserted the 'libertas.ko' and 'libertas_sdio.ko', I got the
following messages:

libertas_sdio: Libertas SDIO driver
libertas_sdio: Copyright Pierre Ossman
firmware: requesting helper_sd.bin
firmware: requesting sd8686.bin
libertas: 00:22:43:77:77:22, fw 11.47.18p0, cap 0x00000301
libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x001d failed: 2
libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x00a3 failed: 2
libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x00a3 failed: 2
libertas: eth1: Marvell WLAN 802.11 adapter

which I think similar to as shown on
http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/WifiSolutions.

After this I tried to set the SSID..using
root@at91sam:~$ iwconfig eth1 essid "shraddha" (even without "" also) and
got the following messages:
libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x0006 failed: 2
libertas: SCAN_CMD failed

After iwconfig.. displays:
root@at91sam:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.417 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:0 kb/s
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Also tried for scan -
root@at91sam:~$ iwlist eth1 scan
libertas: PREP_CMD: command 0x0006 failed: 2
libertas: SCAN_CMD failed
eth1 No scan results

It would be very helpful if someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
