Driver per adapter wireless usb acx100 ( testato con modello DWL 120+ )
ultimo aggiornamento: 09.12.2005
I dispositivi wireless absati su chipset TI acx100 non sono supportati con linux.
E' comunque possibile utilizzare un driver , funzionante, anche se ancora di fase sviluppo.
I sorgenti del driver sono reperibili all' indirizzo: http://195.66.192.167/linux/acx_patches/
Qui e' comunue disponibile la patch acx-20051113.tar.bz2, verificata e funzionante.
procedura di installazione:
E' richiesto un kernel 2.6 con sorgente.
------------------------------------------------------
1) create directory di lavoro ed estrarre il contenuto del tar.bz2:
------------------------------------------------------
[root@enzo5 ACX100]# mkdir /home/enzo/ACX100/work_acx
[root@enzo5 ACX100]# cd /home/enzo/ACX100/work_acx
[root@enzo5 work_acx]# tar jxf ../acx-20051113.tar.bz2
------------------------------------------------------
2) compilare il modulo
------------------------------------------------------
[root@enzo5 work_acx]# make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.1'
CC [M] /home/enzo/ACX100/work_acx/pci.o
LD [M] /home/enzo/ACX100/work_acx/acx.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
CC /home/enzo/ACX100/work_acx/acx.mod.o
LD [M] /home/enzo/ACX100/work_acx/acx.ko
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.1'
------------------------------------------------------
3) installare il modulo compilato all' interno del kernel
------------------------------------------------------
[root@enzo5 work_acx]# make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules_install
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.1'
INSTALL /home/enzo/ACX100/work_acx/acx.ko
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.1'
[root@enzo5 work_acx]# find /lib/modules/ | grep acx
........
/lib/modules/2.6.13.1_enzo_20050915/extra/acx.ko
[root@enzo5 work_acx]# ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.13.1_enzo_20050915/extra/acx.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 881635 Sep 20 21:42 /lib/modules/2.6.13.1_enzo_20050915/extra/acx.ko
------------------------------------------------------
4) aggiornare le dipendenze dei moduli
------------------------------------------------------
[root@enzo5 work_acx]# depmod -ae
------------------------------------------------------
5) configurazione della connessione wireless
------------------------------------------------------
