Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

Looks like you're using the wrong modules or it was a kernel hiccup.

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

Sure seems that way.

But all I'm doing is grabbing the binary at http://david.gnedt.eu/blog/wl1251/ , and I've just extracted only the folder:
/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/
to my n900, and have been trying the files there.

Is that so different from everyone else's approach? I wonder If I could've loaded something that enables a more strict checking of the modules?

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

Hi. After I installed wl1251 driver apt-get complains on unmet dependances.

apt-get install any_package_name

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kernel-power-settings:
Depends: kernel-power-flasher (>= 1:2.6.28-10power49)
but 2.6.28-maemo46-wl1 is to be installed
or
kernel-power-bootimg (>= 1:2.6.28-10power49) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I'll be thankful for any advice.

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

new version of kernel-power-settings depends on new version of kernel-power (v49)

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

WTF, it even fails to work for me with kernel-power46-wl !!

I cant even imagine why that would be possible. I'd love to hear any theories.

injection support isn't worth wiping all my apps and configs for me :mad:

If you would like to see packet injection driver in kernel-power, see info about testing patched osso-wlan: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...6&postcount=68

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

Oh jeez,

Fixed it anyway, when I found that a seperate copy of the driver files "just worked"

The main part of the problem: Somehow I'd ended up with 0-byte .ko files, somewhere along the way of uncompressing the driver archive from the larger one, scp'ing it over, and uncompressing it on the phone ...

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

Hi,

lxp published new version of packet injection driver.
Source code is here: http://david.gnedt.eu/wl1251/wl1251-...-source.tar.gz
And builds for kernel-power v50 here: http://david.gnedt.eu/wl1251/wl1251-...9+pre50.tar.gz

Please note that old version is INCOMPATIBLE with kernel-power >= v50

Re: [Announce] bleeding-edge wl1251 wifi driver for Maemo Fremantle
 

Thanks for the announce pali.

I have some additional notes:

The new version is now able to load the calibration data, therefore it might give different results for the signal strength and range than the previous version. I hope it only gets better :)

The interface package/byte counters should now also work in injection mode.

The source is now separated and contains the full git repositories, so there should be no problem with building compat-wireless.

@everyone i followed the readme file. it is for kp46. i installed the debs accordingly. i was using kp49 and after that my device went into a reboot loop. how to install the drivers?
i flashed my N900 and with some help i managed to understand a bit. all i did was:

untarred the tar file.
cd /home/user/MyDocs/wl1251/binary/compat wireless
sh load.sh

THATS IT ?
