Honored ContributorHi, hippo, http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif
I want to connect the pci wireless network adapter with my stratix board. And I wonder that can altera pci complier help me in this situation when using it in Host-Bridge mode. Thank you in advance!
Honored ContributorThe PCI driver is quite portable. People on this forum had used it for gigabit ethernet, IEEE1394, and USB. It is not difficult to add a wifi. You'd find a wifi card with kernel driver support, not ndiswrapper. You may find the PCI host usage in the wiki.
But you should know the Altera dev board does not have PCI or mini-PCI slot. How do you connect it?Honored Contributor>>The PCI driver is quite portable. People on this forum had used it for gigabit ethernet, IEEE1394, and USB. It is not difficult to add a wifi.
Thanks! I read some posts before about using pci driver to connect ethernet device and other device, but I am not quite sure about wifi. >>But you should know the Altera dev board does not have PCI or mini-PCI slot. How do you connect it? Yes, the Altera dev board does not have PCI slot. I want to make a daughter card in which there is a PCI slot, and use the Expansion Prototype Connector in altera board to connect the daughter card. Does this work? >>You may find the PCI host usage in the wiki. btw, I am in mainland and I can not log on the nioswiki now.Honored ContributorHippo, can you give me some other advice or methods about connecting the altera dev board with PCI wifi card? I've tried using CF interface in this altera board, but I found that the cf in altera only support the ture IDE mode, and it does not support IO mode.
Since you know the board very well, what do you think if you want to connect wifi card using the altera board.Honored ContributorAbout the wiki, I had asked Altera's FAE to check the wiki from mainland China before. They told me it worked. I wonder if it was interrupted by the earth quack earlier.
About the wifi, 1. It is difficult to add PCI slot to Altera dev board. It will be not so stable, too. 2. There are few Wifi CF adaptors. You must check if they have Linux driver. The CF slot on Altera dev board can be used. 3. USB wifi cards are popular. I had tested with USB host on PCI. But Altera dev board does not have USB host. DE2 has one, but the driver has problem. 4. You can also use ethernet to connect a standalone wifi AP, and make it at client or bridge mode. This is the simple way.Honored Contributor>>2. There are few Wifi CF adaptors.

You mean that I can use the altera's CF slot to connect cf Wifi card, but when I do this in SOPC Builder, just getting the CF interface supports only True IDE mode, and Wifi card needs IO mode. So I think I need to write CF Controller module, which complies with Avalon bus specification, to handle the Compact Flash singals with Wifi card, and just use the CF slot, not the CF interface function provided by SoPC Builder. Really appreciate your help!Honored ContributorYes, you need to change the CF itnerface to IO mode.
But it is difficult to find a CF adaptor with native Linux dirver. I couldn't find one myself.Honored Contributorbut it is difficult to find a cf adaptor with native linux dirver. i couldn't find one myself.

Honored ContributorThanks a lot!
So many cards! I need some times to find! Maybe I have another choice, Prism2/2.5/3 card. It can work well in linux, I think. And in linux-wlan there has driver. God bless me finding the card!
