Kernel EHCI support for r8187
 

Hello,

I am attempting to compile the realtek usb r8187 drivers under maemo in scratchbox.

When I make, the ieee stack works fine, but the driver itself errors saying I need EHCI support in the kernel.

So I changed

# CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI is not set

to

CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI=y

When I make oldconfig, this reverts back to not being set. I am not sure what governs this - is it that the armel arch doesn't support EHCI and this is a dead end?

Or have I missed something?

Thanks,

Paul

I compiled this a week ago for pupnik :P

I had the same problem, I don't think OMAP usb will let you set it. Remove the EHCI line from the Makefile and then it compiles cleanly :)

(Actually, if you search the irc archive for rapidshare, you can get a link to the modules I built against stock kernel)

Oh yeah, found it.

Thanks loads... though I was kinda having fun with my first foray into scratchbox.

I see that pupnik got an error with "invalid module" which would suggest a kernel id mismatch?

Did it work in the end?

He was using some custom oprofile kernel :)

You may have seen my kernel log that I posted too :)

It insmoded fine for me with that script.

Ah, no, I didn't see the script, but I am familiar with this driver so I knew the deal.

So it was a success, thanks. Aircrack worked a treat, once I found the missing aireplay-ng. Any ideas why this is absent from the package? I imagine the package maintainer got sick of people asking why it didn't work with the internal card!

So today I cracked my first wep key from the n810. A good day :) I am looking forward to the next time I need to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of wep for a customer and do the whole thing from an n810!

Brilliant :)

Thanks for confirming it works w/out ehci, I thought it may not work.

I need to pickup one of these sticks, cracking a dump with the built in wifi and using aircrack-ng = fail on n800 :)

Inbuilt? You mean without injection? Yeah unless you have a lifetime to wait for the ivs then def "fail" :)

Re: Kernel EHCI support for r8187
 

Oh yeah, careful with the Netgear wg111 sticks - they have different versions with different chipsets, but the same model number. I was lucky to get the right one.

Re: Kernel EHCI support for r8187
 

Yep, I left it running for seven hours, in the morning cpu is still on full and it was Killed :/

Hehe, I have 2 of these. One is broken, and one is my sisters :D

Hey Qwerty,

The rtl drivers you created don't load under Diablo - are you planning to recompile? My scratchbox setup is gone, so if you have new ones that would be great...
