[paul]

Dear all,
I am porting Android to the ARM platform, i am trying to make Wi-
Fi
work, my wifi chip is Marvel 8686, but i get the failure log as
bellow:

"# V/WifiMonitor( 586): Event [CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=-1 state=2]

My wifi chip has connected the AP , when i enter "iwconfig", it show
as follow :

"
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"dlink"

"


I has added

"
mkdir /data/misc/dhcp 0770 dhcp dhcp

chown dhcp dhcp /data/misc/dhcp

service dhcpcd /system/bin/dhcpcd -d -f /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf
-X eth1
disabled
oneshot
"
to my init.rc ,
and the content of dhcpcd.conf is :

"
# dhcpcd configuration for Android Wi-Fi interface
# See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.

interface eth1
# dhcpcd-run-hooks uses these options.
option subnet_mask, routers, domain_name_servers
"

But my Android can't get the Wi-Fi network configuration from DHCP ,
any idea? thanks !!!

Dear all,
I got it working now , because i did not add
"wifi.interface=eth1" in system.prop of my product.
