嵌入式Linux USB WIFI驱动的移植

硬件平台：飞思卡尔MX258开发板

操作系统：Linux2.6.31

WIFI：    RT2860 USB WIFI模组

交叉编译环境：gcc version 4.1.2

 

调试步骤：

第一步：测试USB　HOST接口

在menuconfig中将USB HOST设置为内核模式：

 

重新编译内核后启动开发板，插入U盘并挂载：

mount /dev/sda1 /tmp

ls /tmp

可以看到U盘已经正常挂载，测试USB　HOST OK!

第二步：网上下载雷凌最新的USB驱动，

2011_0107_RT3070_RT3370_Linux_STA_v2[1].5.0.1_DPO.tar.bz2

拷备到Linux目录并解压：

tar  jxf  2011_0107_RT3070_RT3370_Linux_STA_v2[1].5.0.1_DPO.tar.bz2

由于上面名字很长，可以修改为简短的名字：

mv  2011_0107_RT3070_RT3370_Linux_STA_v2[1].5.0.1_DPO  RT3070_Linux_STA

第三步：进入RT3070_Linux_STA目录，看到有一个README_STA_usb文件，里面介绍了如何加载该驱动：

Build Instructions: 

====================

 

1> $tar -xvzf DPB_RT2870_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x.tgz

    go to "./DPB_RT2870_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x" directory.

   

2> In Makefile

          set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX"

          define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC

          modify to meet your need.

 

3> In os/linux/config.mk

         define the GCC and LD of the target machine

         define the compiler flags CFLAGS

         modify to meet your need.

         ** Build for being controlled by NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant wext functions

            Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'.

            => #>cd wpa_supplicant-x.x

            => #>./wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d

         ** Build for being controlled by WpaSupplicant with Ralink Driver

            Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n'.

            => #>cd wpa_supplicant-0.5.7

            => #>./wpa_supplicant -Dralink -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d

 

4> $make

         # compile driver source code

         # To fix "error: too few arguments to function ˉiwe_stream_add_event"

           => $patch -i os/linux/sta_ioctl.c.patch os/linux/sta_ioctl.c

 

5> $cp RT2870STA.dat  /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat

   

6> load driver, go to "os/linux/" directory.
