Problem with WiFi Qbox100

[trezemauro]

Hi All,
I'm experiencing problem with wifi card:

Init WIFI Driver...
ERROR: WIFI Driver init failed!

I'm using Image Sifteam 1.9.3 E

Any suggestion?

you could try with a different image. perhaps the latest official one as some of the wifi problems have been sorted out

First of all thanks for the answer.

Quanmen I have already tested original firmware from qbox which is 158 and it works properly. Wifi has been detected and driver from image also installed. When I try to do a scan it went fine.

I just wonder how to workaround with image from sifteam to make it works either. I maen, is there any image from sifteam that solve this issue? The last version I have found is 1.9.3 E as I have mentioned befeore but driver for wifi card are not installed. Any idea about how to get driver wifi from somewhere on web? Or maybe a image that manage wifi card correctly for Qbox-100?

Hope we can sort of it soon. Thanks 4 now

Ok solved,
run

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-duodvb/extra/BGW211.ko pu8MACAddr=$macaddress

for $macaddress put your wireless macaddress card

If you need also manage WPA create an sh file like this:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-duodvb/extra/BGW211.ko pu8MACAddr=$MACADDRESS2
ifconfig `ifconfig -a | grep $MACADDRESS | awk '{print $1}'` down
ifrename -c /var/etc/wifi/iftab
ifconfig eth1 up
cp -f /var/etc/wifi/link /tmp/
wpa_supplicant -Dphilips -ieth1 -c /var/etc/wifi/supp.conf -B &
ifconfig eth1 $IP netmask 255.255.255.0 up

es:
$MACADDRESS = 00:19:BB:BB:BB:BB
$MACADDRESS2 = 0019BBBBBBBB
$IP = 192.168.1.40


I know it's a workaround but it works, untill will be released a new firmware that use versione 1.8 of qbox manager that manage properly files qbox.so and qbox.cfg about WIFI stuff.

Ciao

Hello trezemauro,
could you please do me a favor and explain it to me in other words ?

I found this file /lib/modules/2.6.17-duodvb/extra/BGW211.ko but what should I do with it?

I searched inside this file for a string called pu8MACAddr=$*****
but I did not find it...

What does insmod mean?

Thanks in advance for your quick help
Best regards,
