Wheezy Compile issues
I am running Wheezy (Linux arm 3.8.13-bone26 #1 SMP Fri Aug 16 20:56:24 UTC 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux) on a BeagleBone Black. I'm trying to get it to run a USB Wi-Fi adapter with an RTL8188CUS chipset under hostapd.
The kernel doesn't appear to have the right driver, so I got the driver source from Realtek (http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Downloads=true), unzippd it and ran install.sh as root (yeah, I know, risky, but it was on a development system, so its sandboxed) On trying to run the install script, it proceeds for a while, then comes back with Quote:
I can't disagree with the diagnosis, when you look at the /lib/modules/3.8.13-bone26 directory, you get the following: Quote:
Thats what I've found...I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to compiling, or the smarts of drivers....can anyone advise what is required to get this driver to compile? |
Hi,
that directory is normally provided by the linux-headers package corresponding to your kernel. The package name appears to be: Code:
linux-headers-3.8.13-bone26 Evo2. |
Hi,
I just realised that you may simply need to install the non-free firmware and not mess with compilation of kernel modules at all. See https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x#Debian_7.0_.22Wheezy.22 Evo2. |
Hi Evo2,
I tried to install from non-freeware sources before: The info below was posted on the Beaglebone Google Group, but got no answers Quote:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian which looked like a good source, but now you have me wondering if it is such a good one to use! Thanks for your interest and help so far! Jim |
Fixed!
Hi Evo and others,
I took a different approach when I found http://wiesel.ece.utah.edu/redmine/p...eBone_Black_AP The AP now works fine! Thanks guys! |
