I would very much like to get the rt73 driver to work on my PCH A110 running Linux. I crosscompiled the driver with debug enabled, from latest cvs snapshot, using gcc 4.0.4

Code:
# uname -a
Linux PCH-A110 2.6.15-sigma #2370 PREEMPT Mon Nov 24 19:47:20 MYT 2008 mips unknown
# find / -name rt73.bin
/lib/firmware/rt73.bin
/lib/firmware/2.6.15-sigma/rt73.bin
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/rt73.bin
# insmod rt73.ko debug=31
# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep FW
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
# dmesg

I tried to compile natively, but this yields the same errors (firmware loading & memory access, not sure if they are related). Any ideas? I'm unfortunately less than proficient with these build tools.

Thanks for making this software available!

Hi gwillem,

I guess there's two things you may look at.

First, make sure your firmware file is in the correct location. The error number (-2) means the driver can't find the file.

Second, find out why your kernel isn't handling unaligned accesses. My understanding is that they should trap and be "thunked" to do the right thing.

Thanks,
