Wireless dongle Driver compilation

---

as per a request by potissimus, i have some drivers i was hoping someone could compile for me.

The drivers are for USB-wireless 3g adapters that I'm trying to get working on the Touchpad through ICS (cm9).

Thanks

can anyone assist?

So i've spent the last few days playing with building from CM9 from source and the kernel too.

I've managed to compile both successfully or so it seems.

upon pushing them to the touchpad and attempting to insmod, i get the error "Device or resource busy"

i have done a power off/reboot and hasnt had any effect. I cant find any other information to explain why it wont let me load them now.

i performed a modinfo check on both sierra.ko and sierra_net.ko, and received these details back:
description: USB Driver for Sierra Wireless USB modems
author: Kevin Lloyd, Elina Pasheva, Matthew Safar, Rory Filer
srcversion: C58D9EB6D295B757AA65F22
depends:
vermagic: 2.6.35-palm-tenderloin SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7
parm: nmea:NMEA streaming (bool)
parm: debugebug messages (bool)

i checked this against the included cifs.ko that is standard in the CM9 build and got:

version: 1.64
description: VFS to access servers complying with the SNIA CIFS Specification e.g. Samba and Windows

srcversion: 3E08663B86EDD76112AB79C
depends:
vermagic: 2.6.35-palm-tenderloin SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7
parm: CIFSMaxBufSize:Network buffer size (not including header). Default: 16384 Range: 8192 to 130048 (int)
parm: cifs_min_rcv:Network buffers in pool. Default: 4 Range: 1 to 64 (int)
parm: cifs_min_small:Small network buffers in pool. Default: 30 Range: 2 to 256 (int)
parm: cifs_max_pending:Simultaneous requests to server. Default: 50 Range: 2 to 256 (int)

so it looks to have compiled correctly and against the correct kernel version.

I've attached the 2 .ko files. hopefully someone may be able to see what is going on there.

The dongle will not function properly without an OTG Y-cable connection to AC. Unfortunately, our microUSB ports cannot generate enough power to feed USB devices properly without it.

Hope someone helps this guy out

I am aware that the touchpad will not generate power for the dongle, hence why i would be using OTG & Y cables. i should have mentioned that.

I have had no luck with this, and with my limited knowledge cannot take it any further. I should note however that i have begun researching building the kernel from source and there appears to be some form of sierra driver embedded or available, however may not be compiled in the CM9 kernel. If anyone has any idea of how to "activate" additional drivers available in the source that'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Have you tried to manualy "power on" your dongle interface?
You can do this with this command line on your terminal emulator :

ip link set "interface_name" up

please put a guide with full advanced

thanks
