===============================================================================
Overview
===============================================================================
This document contains information for compiling wireless drivers and related
software for use with BeagleBone Black compatible platforms
The drivers have associated patches to address the following issues:
- Enable building on BBB platform
- Eliminate excessive log output
- Add compatibility for 4.1.x kernel
See the patch files for more details.
===============================================================================
Prerequisites
===============================================================================
- Kernel headers
- Install with "apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)"
- build-essential package
- Install with "apt-get install build-essential"
- Copy the directory containing this file to the build host and change into it
before running any of the following commands
===============================================================================
RTL8192CU Wireless Driver for D-Link DWA-121
===============================================================================
rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911.tar.gz contains the original
driver package provided in the archive available here:
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2772
Steps to patch and build driver:
tar zxf rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911.tar.gz
cd rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911
patch -p1 < ../rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911-bbb.patch
make
This will build a kernel module called 8192cu.ko
The module can be installed into the kernel module directory structure via:
cp 8192cu.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
===============================================================================
hostapd Utility for D-Link DWA-121 and DWA-171
===============================================================================
wpa_supplicant_hostapd-0.8_rtw_r7475.20130812.tar.gz contains the original
hostapd package provided in the archive available here:
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2772
No patching is required
Steps to build hostapd
tar zxf wpa_supplicant_hostapd-0.8_rtw_r7475.20130812.tar.gz
cd wpa_supplicant_hostapd-0.8_rtw_r7475.20130812
cd hostapd
make
This will build the hostapd and hostapd_cli binaries that can be used with the
DWA-121 and DWA-171
===============================================================================
RTL8811AU Wireless Driver for D-Link DWA-171
===============================================================================
rtl8811AU_linux_v4.3.0_10674.20140321.tar.gz contains the original
driver package provided in the archive available here:
ftp://ftp.dlink.eu/Products/dwa/dwa-171/driver_software/DWA-171_drv_revA_4-3-0_all_multi_20140616.zip
Steps to patch and build driver
tar zxf rtl8811AU_linux_v4.3.0_10674.20140321.tar.gz
cd rtl8811AU_linux_v4.3.0_10674.20140321
patch -p1 < ../rtl8811AU_linux_v4.3.0_10674.20140321-bbb.patch
make
This will build a kernel module called 8821au.ko
The module can be installed into the kernel module directory structure via:
cp 8821au.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
