Wifi on uCLinux

[Altera_Forum]

Hi everybody, 

 Does anybody knows if it is possible to have WiFI working on uCLinux for NIOS when using a PCI Wifi card connected to the Altera PCI host Bridge. What options should be enabled during the kernel configuration ?  Regards.

Hi Bigboss25, 

 with PCI all generic 802.11b Cards will work. The best way is to implement the Atmel 76C50x-Chip. In the kernel config you just have to enable Drivers->Network->Wireless Lan and then the Hardwaredriver....  Bye Marco    --- Quote Start ---  originally posted by bigboss25@Oct 5 2006, 09:49 AM hi everybody,  does anybody knows if it is possible to have wifi working on uclinux for nios when using a pci wifi card connected to the altera pci host bridge. what options should be enabled during the kernel configuration ?  regards. <div align='right'><{post_snapback}> (index.php?act=findpost&pid=18564)  --- quote end ---    --- Quote End ---

Is it possible to use a standard Linux driver (ie for MMU processors)?  Regards.

You may also try ZyDAS chipsets based wireless device on USB, 

http://zydas.rapla.net/ (http://zydas.rapla.net/)  There are Linux driver support on sf.net, and now included in kernel 2.6.18 .
