I try to mount AFS on NFS to free my SD slot. I put x-loader , u-boot
and kernel on SD card , load it to memory ,and boot up without SD
card. Somehow I could boot up successfully but my wireless can't work
well. Each time I turn on wifi , it can't search for any available
connection even there has one. and AFS on SD Card can work well. Two
AFS are exactly the same .

could someone give me some hints? Thanks!

Best Regards

Hello Jeffrey,

What release are you using? In the latest draft release (L27.12.1-P2)
WLAN is not working. We are testing this atm and hope to have
something in the near future.

Not sure how you are doing this... panda has no memory for you to
store these values at. x-loader, u-boot, and kernel must remain on the
first partition of the SD card in order for it to boot.
Please add more detail on your environment setup.

I'm using L27.10.2-P1, so WLAN should worked fine.

The boot step is , First put SD card into the slot and power up , and
boot up to u-boot. Then load kernel to memory (I think the command
fatload should load it to memory... am I wrong ?) , then take off the
SD card to release the SD slot, then boot. Here are the boot arguments
I use to mount AFS on NFS:

bootargs = androidboot.console=ttyO2 console=ttyO2,115200n8
mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 init=/init vram=32M
omapfb.vram=0:16M,1:16M consoleblank=0 smsc95xx.macaddr=76:2F:97:85:4F:
56 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.2.109:/media/
afs,nolock,wsize=1024,rsize=1024 ip=DHCP rootdelay=2

I just can't figure out why WLAN can work fine with standard boot
procedure but can not work fine if I try to mount AFS on NFS T_T

Thanks for all your replies.

Best Regards
Jeffrey Wang

Hello ,

I'm testing wifi for L27.12.1-P2 release (android kernel using
2.6.35), still not in stable condition,

I can browse using browser application for small duration of time ,
after that the application is closing for me
wilink falling not responding to silicon commands (its stack
overflow), could you pls suggest the panda revision or version number
which supports connection of wilink and avoiding stack overflow.
Its bit high priority any help will more appreciating.

Thanks and regards
Sunil.
