bcm4329 wifi module

[Vadim]

i am trying to compile the 2.6.35.7 kernel supplied by huawei, the
kernel builds fine but the bcm4329 wifi module gives

ERROR: "wifi_get_irq_number" [drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/bcm4329.ko]
undefined!
ERROR: "wifi_set_power" [drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/bcm4329.ko]
undefined!
ERROR: "wifi_get_mac_addr" [drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/bcm4329.ko]
undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2

I built the kernel as follows:

make hw_msm7x27_defconfig

export ARCH=arm

export PATH=$PATH:/home/vadim/Documents/Android_building/CyanogenMod_7/
prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin

make -j16 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

Can anyone tell me whats going on?

Hi Vadim,

Did you change anything in driver source files?

Thanks,
Parth

Where did you get your wifi driver source code? And how did you
compile it?
Looks like there were some options missing when you compiled bcm4329.

Thanks Parth,
for the interest, i have actually figured it out, the reason for the
errors was that the defconfig had the bcm4329 not set, what i did was
change it to be built as a module, and got that error, but just
figured out that you also need to set enable wifi control function
abstraction under device system type in the .config and it all built
fine ;)

You should find the code have "wifi_get_irq_number" "wifi_set_power"
function, and be sure this code had been compiled success.

I Have not changed anything in the source. All I did after the defconfig was change the .config to build bcm4329 as a module

[Hamilton Vera]

Hi Vadim, is it possible to get this source code ? Is it available for public?

Check Your .Config File Firstly.

[Vadim]

hi, this is the kernel source,
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDAzNzg=
i have gotten it to compile now, but insmod is refuring to load the
driver

[William W.-Y. Liang]

insmod doesn't work, probably because the MODULE_LOAD option is not enabled in the kernel.

[Vadim]

I could not find the MODULE_LOAD option , but doing a dmesg after the
insmod, gives a dhd_modyle_init timeout and a do_exitcode=65280

[William W.-Y. Liang]

Sorry, I've typed a wrong option. It should be CONFIG_MODULES.

Please set it in <kernel>/.config with CONFIG_MODULES=y.

[Vadim]

The CONFIG_MODULES=y is already there after doing the defconfig, its
weird because the kernel and wifi module build fine, but the module
refuses to load, the original wifi module does work with the new
kernel that i built. the new bcm4329.ko is about 40k bytes bigger two

[William W.-Y. Liang]

Is there any log (from dmesg) related to the problem?

(For example, what has been logged while you were trying to insmod it.)

[jagan]

I think your missing these func definitions.

Those def are likely to be defined in dhd_linux.c.

Check it the defn'...

Regards,

Jagan

[Franky]

If you are trying to load the module manually, make sure you have
rooted. Original "shell" user doesn't have enough privilege to run
insmod.

[Vadim]

i was doing it with root, and just turning on wifi from the ui gives
error

[Vadim]

im 99% sure that i cant load it because i am compiling it with wrong
dhcdflags in the makefile of the bcm4329 directory, anyone know how to
get them? i do have the original module

You could try the one in android common kernel.
But kernel.org is down. I can send you want if you want.

I tried it from the cm kernel with same results

[George]

try
make showenv
Check your TARGET,

and CUSTOMER_HW2,CONFIG_WIFI_CONTROL_FUNC for C defines.

Hi,

Also, be sure that after generating your target you have it in your '.config'. If it is not defined in your 'Kconfig' it will me removed by the command 'make $target'.
