Hi. I have a problem with the integrated WiFi module of the TonidoPlug2, the Marvell SD8786. I have followed the instructions here: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/tonidoplug-2
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
1. Edit /etc/modules-load.d/mwifiex.conf and add "mwifiex_sdio" to the file.
2. Reboot, or simply modprobe mwifiex_sdio. You will now have an mlan0 interface for the wireless adapter.
')
And I get this at the boot time:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[ 33.293576] mwifiex_sdio mmc0:0001:1: Direct firmware load failed with error -2
[ 33.336450] mwifiex_sdio mmc0:0001:1: Falling back to user helper
[ 35.077632] mwifiex_sdio mmc0:0001:1: Failed to get firmware mrvl/sd8786_uapsta.bin
')
Looking around, I found the sd8786_upasta.bin file in another post of this forum and put it in the /lib/firmware/mrvl/, but then I get some kind of a kernel panic next time I boot the system. It is odd, really, when I connect the system into a serial interface, I get a whole lot of pages of hexadecimal data as soon as the system tries to bring up the WiFi and then the system tells me to reboot the system. No other error is given. As soon as I get ride of the sd8786_uapsta.bin file, the system boots perfectly again.
I always used the Ethernet plug for this device but I'm kinda annoyed by this. Am I the only one with this kind of problem?
