Yes please. I just got a 350mAh transmit power and a detachable 5dBi "High-Gain" r8187 usb stick.

Very excited to test it out and even more excited to try it on the tablet.

Otherwise I'll see what I can do in scratchbox and post the drivers here when I figure it out. Luck and caffiene dependant, I hope to have something by the end of the week as I'm just starting scratchbox.

Otherwise if someone already knowledgable with scratchbox wants to give it a shot, the drivers should be here.

Hey,

Just saw this post, I don't mind recompiling, just give me a few days to rejog me memory on the source and patches used

Can't seem to rebuild this one:

Darn.

Would a different source for the drivers be helpful?

Good news, I managed to build the drivers. Untested as I don't have an r8187.

Built using diablo kernel sources, patched to use msoft-float instead and EHCI check removed. I also compiled the supplied wpasupplicant using defconfig, but I don't think it will be useful and its already been done on this forum before

Nokia also carry a wireless-tools package now :>

Hey guys I am trying to load the drivers you provided and I am getting some strange errors. (firmware is the one before diablo)

in the logs I get:
ieee80211_crypt_ccmp_rtl unknown symbol crypto_alloc_base
crypto_free_tfm

same for ieee80211_crypt_wep_rtl and ieee80211_crypt_tkip_rtl

looks like when the driver was compiled didn't detect the kernel version properly and compiled against a previous version.

you guys have any clue? or would it be possible to recompile if I tell you which firmware I am using?

also how are you able to get the kernel header files to work properly in scratchbox? I am having a hell of a time finding them.

What sequence are you loading the modules? There is a script that loads them in the right order...

Hey sorry for the delay. I am loading the drivers using a custom script. I moved the required bins and copied the install directions from the script provided. I didn't feel like having to move everything over. Only thing I can think of is that I am using a for loop in bash instead of manually writing the commands. However, unless Bash is doing something stupid it should be in the proper order. I will take a look and post back to you. Also, would it be possible to send me your bins for the driver?

Forgot - what version of the firmware are you using?

Hi qwerty12, i've been trying to compile this driver with titan's kernel-power v46 for maemo5 and N900

I was able to compile all modules at ieee80211 folder but under beta-8187 folder it fails, same issue as you've got before at beta-8187/Makefile:
#EXTRA_CFLAGS += -mhard-float -DCONFIG_FORCE_HARD_FLOAT=y
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -msoft-float -DCONFIG_FORCE_HARD_FLOAT=n

I've also got the same issue with no EHCI support at kernel-power so i tried to recompile your driver, with no success, beta-8187/r8187_core.o fails.

Could you please help me qwerty12, could you try to recompile it for titan's power-kernel v46?

Thanks in andvance
