Then do you connected it to the usb1.1 port of omap?  Will the interface
speed limits the wifi performance?

 

Thanks again.

You are a lucky guy!

I just did a similiar work today.

you can buy this wlan card: asus w167g (usb)

and get driver from here:

http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt2570-cvs-daily.tar.gz (for 2.6 kernel)

 

untar,

edit Makefile and specify your kernel source directory,

make arm

insmod ra2570.ko

then using iwconfig to config your wlan card

done

Hi all,

Is there anybody can tell me that if I can use the wlan card driver for PC
in the embedded system?  I guess that there is something related to the 
interface.  Then if I use usb will it work?  Or do I need to modify some
settings in the source code?

By the way can anybody give me some advice on card selection?  Anything
related to vendors, chips, drivers, interfaces and so on would be helpful. 
Better 802.11g cards.

Thank you all in advance and best regards!
