The intention is to use a custom wifi driver on a dev platform running Android. To test this I did following steps.
boot linux Mount Android Filesystem run Android init. Through serial console issue following commands 1. insmod file.ko 2. wlan_loader 3. ifconfig wlan0 up scan and assoc.. This works.. Next step was to hook to the Android connection Manager. For that I have made modification in /hardware/libhardware/wifi/wifi.c file to include the path and I wrote a wlan_loader utility which will download my binary. wlan_loader has been tested by above steps. The functionality of wlan loader is just to download the firmware. After that when i try to give ifconfig up. The Android hangs. The only difference is that the module insertion and firmware download is taken care by Android for the second case. Is there any problem with the wlan_loader entry in the init.rc file.. Pls advise if there is anything wrong with the entry below... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ init.rc entry------------------------------- # Doesn't have any arguments.. service wlan_loader /system/bin/wlan_loader user root group wifi inet system misc radio disabled oneshot ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
