1-update to kernel v50
2-dl the driver 484 mb
3-unzip them in MyDocs
4-copy the folder in home/user

yes I have the same question, do we have to download the source code too?
I already have the previous source code and the latest binary build, but I don't know how to use that binary build.
I try replacing the modules in /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power50 with the modules found in wl1251-maemo-0.2-power49+pre50.tar.gz, but failed. It also make fmradio application fail to run.

If I have to download the latest source code, does it mean I have to extract wl1251-maemo-0.2-power49+pre50.tar.gz in the new source code directory?

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

Just load wl1251-maemo-0.2-power49+pre50.tar.gz (212kb) and extract the *.ko modules to that's all. Load it with Wlan Driver Selector Applet.
No need to d/l source code... ;)
Btw. if you use CSSU Testing you'll already have bleeding edge driver included.

Edit: Maybe you'll need load.sh and unload.sh too. See attachement and put it in the same folder.

Cheers,

CSSU Wiki - Installation: Point 4

Sorry, if this info is incorrect. Probably I've just misunderstood it. ;)

This is normal because MyDocs is a FAT partition not supporting ownership of files (use /home/user/ for example wich is Ext2,3,4 and there should be no error)... The files should be working anyways.

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

Aah, I see. Well, there are two very important words missing, "wifi"and "driver" :p

Yes, you've just misinterpreted what is written there. The is no such thing like "bleeding edge wifi driver" in CSSU :)

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

Ok, here's your install guid, but I'm not sure why you'd want that.
