Here is some tips of veer wifi driver. 1. Veer WiFi chip is BCM4319. 2. Veer WiFi driver source code can be found on http://downloads.help.palm.com/opensource/2.1.2/dhd.tgz There is also a patch, but the dhd.tgz has been patched, so you don't have to. Use 'cd 2.1.2/dhd/linux; make LINUXDIR=XXX dhd-cdc-sdmmc-oob-gpl' to make it. Then the driver will be located in 2.1.2/dhd/linux/dhd-cdc-sdmmc-oob-gpl-2.6.29/dhd.ko 3. The firmware and vars file are located in /lib/firmware/bcm4319.bin and /lib/firmware/bcm4319.txt in Veer. You should modify the vars file(bcm4319.txt), "macaddr=00:90:4c:14:4A:AB", to your own macaddr. 4. The firmware download helper is located in /lib/firmware/dhd Use following command to probe driver. insmod /lib/modules/2.6.29-palm-shank/kernel/net/wifi/dhd.ko dhd_mac_address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX /lib/firmware/dhd -i eth0 download /lib/firmware/bcm4319.bin /lib/firmware/bcm4319.txt 5. WiFi will not get up automatically, so you need to make it up, by sendding a private command WL_UP I have coded it in wifi_up.c That's all.
