So guys basically I want to connect to my home network or even make a hotspot with that wifi module - loaded qtopia rootfs + a70 kernel and what now? I have no idea how to configure it :/ Module looks like this: http://www.kamami.pl/published/publicdata/BTC10/attachments/SC/products_... While loading Linux on my ARM board I get this: Try to bring eth0 interface up......cat: can't open '/sys/class/net/eth0/address': No such file or directory ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device route: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Done I'm really poor with knowledge about Linux or anything, hope you guys help me putting that module on-line.
Wifi module - how to make it work with tiny6410?
It is difficult to see how that module is connected to your dev board. USB, serial or through connections on one of the headers? Link to a datasheet may help. Does the normal ethernet work properly? Have you got an /etc/network/interfaces file? What does it say?
My tiny6410 looks like this: http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2221404900_1332857731.jpg It's tiny, it has only rs232 + host usb and extra space for two modules :P
OK, it is connected via the headers. Now, for the remaining 3 questions plus a link to a datsheet. I am away for the next 2 days so hope someone can pick up from where I left off. BFN, Dave
Just for the record: I'm using rootfs_qtopia_qt4.ext3 rootfs so I do not have file /etc/network/interfaces
That is a FriendlyARM Tiny6410-Easy Kit (No Ethernet). Sold in China and not a lot of them around (looking at one in my hand). That is a FriendlyARM Wifi and should show up in your /dev directory. If you see an Easy-Kit on an English web site you can be 99% certain it is someone in China, like Corewind or Minidevs or their related sites that try to look like they are in California. You can find the boards on Taobao or dhgate if you want one. No support.
