Hi Jesse,

I found the problem. I tried to comment in the same line which doesn’t seem to be allowed:

I changed:
IMAGE_INSTALL += "apnconf" # My Comment
to
#My Comment
IMAGE_INSTALL += "apnconf"

I assumed something way more complicated.

Thanks
Markus

I was not able to get the Netgear WNA1100 to work properly. But I was now able to utilize the Edimax ew7811un. For WIFI connection and as an access point.

You have to compile the driver, wpa-supplicant and hostapd provided from REALTEK (RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911.zip)

thanks for the recommendation. I compiled a 2.3.3 image with +=”firmware-atheros-ar9271″ and connected a Netgear WNA1100. But it doesn’t seem to work.

# modinfo ath9k_hw

After plugging in the usb stick i get the following information:

usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using at91_ohci and address 8
usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0846, idProduct=9030
usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=48
usb 1-2: Product: WNA1100
usb 1-2: Manufacturer: NETGEAR WNA
usb 1-2: SerialNumber: 12345

If I plug the stick into my Ubuntu machine I get:

[26185.498865] ieee80211 phy0: Atheros AR9271 Rev:1
[26185.511155] Registered led device: ath9k_htc-phy0
[26185.511239] usb 1-1: ath9k_htc: USB layer initialized
[26185.512421] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath9k_htc
[26187.873109] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

Is the stick detected as mass storage on my mtcdp?

best regards
Markus
