[Arm-netbook] Request SD card image

[Paul Kench]

Bizarrely I have wifi now (but no ethernet) in the ubuntu image. I ran a depmod -a, and on the next reboot it loaded the wifi module (8192cu.ko) and all was well (once I configured /etc/network/interfaces)

This let me build a armhf minimal image which I copied the modules into, and built a new sd card.

This booted OK, and wifi loaded (8192cu.ko), but failed to come up with


[   13.060000] usb_write_port_cancel 
[   13.060000] ==> rtl8192cu_hal_deinit 
[   13.070000] bkeepfwalive(0)
[   13.070000] card disble without HWSM...........
[   13.080000] <=== rtw_ips_pwr_down..................... in 60ms

It says it loaded the firmware and I couldn't find any firmware blobs that I missed, and there aren't any modprobe changes I can find. Google says HWSM seems related to HAL but anyone any ideas? I'll stick the armhf (180mb atm) cpio image up later, when I've had chance to scrub my wifi psk.

The 3.0.8+ kernel used seems to have some issues, the kernel modules
for i.e the WiFi module don't seem to match the kernel also.

I'll try to compile a 2.6.36 (given that it is the only one "released"
we have fully working) and try with that one.
