[OLPC-devel] Re: wifi driver problems

[Marcos Barbosa]

Hi!
Driver detect the card, but if i reset the driver is not loaded
anymore. This problem is with first release. I download the Mesh
driver in Marvell website, but i can't compile. I make verious thing
to correct, but the terrible error is the variable
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RX_FLAGS is underclared. I try include in the file
(wlan_rx.c) a define line, but i not know the value (i try 14 but very
problems is reported and driver reset USB, wifi, etc.). And others
errors is:
Makefile incorrect (no target declared)
Variables undeclared (others variables, because nos exist include line
in the source file). Questions:
What is value to variable IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RX_FLAGS?
Differences between Mesh Routing Protocol (MRP) and Forwarding Table (FWT)
How to compile driver without errors
Thanks for all!
