FYI, I was able to get a vanilla 3.3.1 kernel compiled and running on the GuruPlug Standard. The mwifiex driver supports the sd8787 wifi chipset, but only (as far as I can tell) in client mode. The hardest part was finding a copy of the Marvell firmware: /lib/firmware/mrvl/sd8787_uapsta.bin. Other hints: I think the driver has to be compiled as a module so that the SDIO driver boots up first, then the mwifiex driver can talk to the wireless chipset. Does anybody know whether AP mode can be achieved (except with the older Marvell kernel & driver)? -- -- Mersenne Law LLC · www.mersenne.com · +1-503-679-1671 - Small Business, Startup and Intellectual Property Law - 1500 SW First Ave. · Suite 1170 · Portland, Oregon 97201
