If you're planning to use this driver (which supports SPI-interfaced Marvell 88w8686 cards), please also take a look at:
- this patch to remove the use of GPIO Chip Select in the driver. If you're using a Blackfin-based system, you'll need to configure your SPI controller to use GPIO-based Chip Select but that can be done in your board config and didn't belong in the libertas_spi driver!
- this one with endianness fixes, especially needed for big-endian systems (ex: PowerPC)
- this one with a fix for IEEE Power Save mode

Dear andrey:
Thank you very much because of the driver of "Marvell Libertas 8686 SPI 802.11b/g cards".
Now, there is a chipset base on marvell 8686. I use the SPI1 of S3C2440 to connect the marell 8686 chipset.
How can I use the driver in linux-2.6.30 to make my chipset work?Do I need to config my spi device?And where the help txt in Documetation in linux2.6.30?I'm so sorry that I can't find it.
Best wish to get help from you.
Please read:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/libertas
(especially the part about the GSPI device). Yes, the driver in 2.6.30 will work, I suggest patching it or using a newer kernel, however.
Wow, I'm glad that Google led me to your blog. I'm porting Linux to a new handheld that has the 8686 gspi module, and am hitting a few speed-bumps with this one.
I'll check out wireless-testing as you suggested.
Good luck, Christopher. Yes, please use the wireless-testing version and discuss any issues you find on the mailing list. The driver needs a bit more work, I'm working on getting access to the hardware again so I can keep hacking on it.
Andrey, many thanks. I finally found the blue plastic line after asking myself what it would look like at the age of 38 (black). I will do all the other suggestions as well. Do you recall which port is the input and output of the canister, they are different lengths but no lines were attached so I cannot tell?
There is a line from the bell housing to the tranny dipstick that is missing on my Bavaria, but also no vent container for my tranny? Hey thanks for your responses, In New England, none of these cars are left and nobody who knows how to fix them. Rob
