Hello.

I just had bought computer board, processor AT91SAM9260, 64MB ram, 512 
MB flash & 8Gb SD card (debian,custom build kernel 2.6.23 witch patches).

And I have crazy idea.....

question:
ndiswrapper work well under ARM9? is there any tutorial howto 
cross-compile&config  ndiswrapper for ARM9?
or wifi cards are supported natively? what wifi cards are well supported 
on ARM9?

I want connect webcam to ARM9. it is possible? what hardware are 
recommended?

Purpose: Some onboard image processing/reading sensors--> controlling my 
small robot

I good know Gentoo on normal PC, but none experience on embedded. I just 
starting.

I know well ARM7 & AVR, and programming it without OS, and witch freeRTOS,
bud I'm just starting with embedded Linux and ARM9.


Please any advice, links to howtos....and what is useful.

ndiswrapper can't work on ARM - it's an interface layer designed to allow WinXX drivers to run under Linux on x86 processors. Eric
Hello again.

What about my following questions?

Mos important for me:
webcam@USB  that works with arm9 ( very low fps would be OK or even 
single shot)

Is drivers for any already ported or I must port drivers myself?
What hardware are recommended? (res 640x480 minimum)
