USB无线网卡的Linux驱动移植

⑥ 将安装目录下的iwconfig、iwlist等下载到目标板。主要使用的命令及功能：

◆ iwconfig，回车，查看所有无线网卡;

◆ iwconfig wlan0，查看wlan0;

◆ iwconfig wlan0 essid xx，配置网卡SSID为xx;

◆ iwlist wlan0 scan|grep ESSID，搜索周边所有无线网卡的ESSID。

2.6　无线网卡测试

(1) 插入无线网卡，自动安装USB host驱动

[root@(none) tmp]# uname a

Linux(none) 2.6.12h1940 #59 Tue May 3 13:12:53 CST 2011 armv4tl unknown

[root@(none) tmp]# usb 11:new full speed USB device using s3c2410ohci and address 4

usb 11: Product: RTL8188S WLAN Adapter

usb 11: Manufacturer: Manufacturer Realtek

usb 11: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001

(2) 加载模块8712u.ko

insmod 8712u.ko

(3) 唤醒USB无线网卡驱动

ifconfig wlan0 up

(4) 搜索周边无线网络

[root@(none) tmp]# iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID

fwdbg: get survey cmd

fwdbg: survey done (00000005, 00000000)

ESSID: TPLINK_WSW

ESSID: TPLINK_717E24

ESSID: dlink

ESSID: newnav

ESSID: dgdz

(5) 配置wlan0的SSID

iwconfig wlan essid TPLINK_717E24

配置成功后利用iwconfig回显：

[root@(none) tmp]# uname a

Linux (none) 2.6.12h1940 #59 Tue May 3 13:12:53 CST 2011 armv4tl unknown

[root@(none) tmp]# iwconfig wlan0

wlan0IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:TPLINK_717E24

Mode: Managed Frequency: 2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:25:86:71:7E:24

Bit Rate: 54 Mb/s

Encryption key:off

Power Management: off

Link Quality=52/100 Signal level=52/100 Noise level=0/100

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

(6) IP动态分配

自动申请动态IP：

udhcpc i wlan0

显示如下信息：

[root@(none) tmp]# uname a

Linux (none) 2.6.12h1940 #59 Tue May 3 13:12:53 CST 2011 armv4tl unknown

[root@(none) tmp]# udhcpc i wlan0

udhcpc (v0.9.9pre) started

udhcpc[490]: udhcpc (v0.9.9pre) started

Sending discover...

udhcpc[490]: Sending discover...

Sending select for 172.16.51.9...

udhcpc[490]: Sending select for 172.16.51.9...

Lease of 172.16.51.9 obtained, lease time 691200

udhcpc[490]: Lease of 172.16.51.9 obtained, lease time 691200

deleting routers

route: SIOC[ADD|DEL]RT: No such process

adding dns 61.153.216.99

adding dns 61.153.216.104

运行ifconfig命令后，显示最终配置：

[root@(none) tmp]# uname a

Linux (none) 2.6.12h1940 #59 Tue May 3 13:12:53 CST 2011 armv4tl unknown

[root@(none) tmp]# ifconfig wlan0

wlan0 Line encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:10:54:0E:1B

inet addr: 172.16.51.9 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Mask: 255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

(7) ping测试

ping测试时需要加c参数控制ping次数，否则会一直不停测试，并且无法kill。

[root@(none) tmp]# ping c 2 172.16.51.9

PING 172.16.51.9 (172.16.51.9): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 172.16.51.9: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.4 ms

64 bytes from 172.16.51.9: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.7 ms

---172.16.51.9 ping statistics 勃勃

2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss

roundtrip min/avg/max=0.7/1.0/1.4 ms

3　讨论

在USB无线网卡驱动移植过程中，将主要的文件netdevice.h、wireless.h、iw_handler.h、dev.c等进行替换后，内核已经能编译成功。将内核下载并重启开发板后，加载驱动成功，并能利用iwlist搜索到周边的WLAN网络。在利用iwconfig给驱动指定SSID时iwconfig引起内核崩溃。初判原因不应为wirelesstools程序。加入ip.h、icmp.h socket.h等文件后iwconfig指定SSID成功。最后进行ping测试时，出现ping 127.1和本机IP均失败的情况。使用strace跟踪ping执行过程，发现recvfrom()函数参数传递错误，替换neighbour.c af_netlink.c等文件后ping 127.1成功。

若系统内核升级到Linux 2.6.30，驱动能编译通过，但只要一发出ifconfig命令，内核即崩溃。即使高版本内核在移植时也有问题，这些问题需要进一步研究。
