I'm trying to bring up my WiFi card under Linux. I've found the code for the mac80211 (mrv8kng). My card is Asus Wi-Fi-Tv card (integrated tv capturing+WiFi adapter: 01:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88W8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 43). My current problem is that I can't load the firmware on the chip. There are two files (Win drivers) on the Asus CDROM: denis@denis-desktop:~/Downloads$ ls -al CB55N50.sys CB55N51.sys -rw-r--r-- 1 denis denis 297856 2005-04-16 13:27 CB55N50.sys -rw-r--r-- 1 denis denis 297856 2005-04-16 13:26 CB55N51.sys The FW cutter can't find the the main FW: denis@denis-desktop:~/Downloads$ ./mrv8k_extract_fw CB55N51.sys Bootloader found at 282088 Firmware not found I also tried the firmware from the *BSD (malo firmware), but also without success. Current problem that after loading the 'main' firmware the MRV_REG_STATUS register is not equal to MRV_FW_SIGNATURE. PS: Looks like that this tree no longer available git://git.infradead.org/mrv8k.git :/ Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Denis
