Failed to load Wi-Fi driver

[linux newbie]

Hi,

 

Ours is Pxa255 based embedd platform.

 

I tested WiFi using wpa_supplicant and then booted Android.

 

If I select Wi-Fi under Settings, it says unable to start Wi-Fi and following is the logcat. Can anyone help me, how to debug this issue?

 

E/WifiService( 2649): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 3438): Received wifi state changed from Unknown to Enabling
D/dalvikvm( 2649): GC freed 15560 objects / 781096 bytes in 260ms
D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 3438): Received wifi state changed from Enabling to Unknown
D/PowerManagerService( 2649): setPowerState: mPowerState=6 newState=3 noChangeLights=false
D/PowerManagerService( 2649):   oldKeyboardBright=false newKeyboardBright=false
D/PowerManagerService( 2649):   oldScreenBright=true newScreenBright=true
D/PowerManagerService( 2649):   oldButtonBright=true newButtonBright=false
D/PowerManagerService( 2649):   oldScreenOn=false newScreenOn=true
D/PowerManagerService( 2649):   oldBatteryLow=false newBatteryLow=false

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

wpa_supplicant is not build into system/bin.

 

I enabled HAVE_CUSTOM_WIFI_DRIVER_2 := true(as mentioned in some discussions) under ~/mydriod/build/target/board/generic/BoardConfig.mk. But wpa_supplicant is not getting compiled.

 

can anyone help me in this regard?

 

Thanks

If you have made kernel changes you'll need to recompile the Wi-Fi driver aswell.

Yes, I recompiled the kernel, android and took the new root file system.

 

I coudlnt get wpa_supplicant in system/bin folder. Do I need to set any configuration flags in order to compile wpa_supplicant for "generic" product??

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I set, BUILD_WPA_SUPPLICANT to true in external/wpa_supplicant folder and now I can able to get the binary under system/bin folder.

 

I just copied the wpa_supplicant executable to my root file system.

 

Still I am getting the same error i.e Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.

 

Any suggestions to debug this issue??

 

Thanks
