19 years agoWifi on uCLinux
Hi everybody,
Does anybody knows if it is possible to have WiFI working on uCLinux for NIOS when using a PCI Wifi card connected to the Altera PCI host Bridge. What options should be enabled during the kernel configuration ? Regards.6 Replies

Hi Bigboss25,
with PCI all generic 802.11b Cards will work. The best way is to implement the Atmel 76C50x-Chip. In the kernel config you just have to enable Drivers->Network->Wireless Lan and then the Hardwaredriver....
