View Full Version : Loading a custom wifi driver on the Trinity

I want to run my own wifi driver instead of the default one that comes in ROM.

The existing driver is TNETW1251.dll.

I have a new driver named TNETWtest.dll.

I've changed the following reg values:

[HKLM\Comm\TNET1251] "ImagePath" = "TNETWtest.dll"
[HKLM\Comm\TNET12511] "ImagePath" = "TNETWtest.dll"

Technically, this should have loaded my driver, but it doesn't.

Just in case security is an issue, I also signed my driver with the SDK Priviledged certificate and I also installed the SDK certificates on the Trinity device.

However, when I try to load the driver via CommManager, Windows CE refuses to load the driver with no indication of what is wrong.

Anybody have an idea why?

Thanks,

WM kernel logs certain events, including driver load failures, to a region in flash.
Dump that region (with itstools or haRet) and check for the errors related to your driver dll.

I examined the itsutils and did not see anything about event logs.

What region in the flash am I to look at?

thx,
