My thoughts. Others may have more information. The Radio's Wifi is something of a closed book to us, because the source code (whatever it may hold) is "PRIVATE" - i.e. it requires access to the private subversion repository to review and build. We have to use a "binary only" poky recipe to populate the firmware image. Here is a link to the relevant poky build recipes (Logitech repo): https://github.com/Logitech/squeezeos/tree/public/7.8/poky/meta-squeezeos/packages/atheros. (Ralphy's repo: https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezeos/tree/public/8.0/poky/meta-squeezeos/packages/atheros). The Atheros driver supplied (ar6000.ko) provides a Wext (Wireless extensions) interface to the hardware, and is used by wpa_supplicant to do its thing. The script 'wlan' shows how the firmware is started up. It uses 'loadAR6000l.sh' and 'wmiconfig' to configure the hardware. On the Radio these are are found in '/lib/atheros' with the wlan script in ' /etc/init.d'. I do not have a very good understanding of Wifi nor experience of Wifi drivers. Perhaps access to the source code would throw light. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111663 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
