Hi,

I am trying to get wi-fi enabled with my BB and having some issues
with it. BB is not able to detect the required firmware.

when I plug in my USB Wi-fi adapter into USB hub (self powered) it
gives:

looks like you are missing the firmware file for zd1211/zd1211b. Make sure you have the requisite file in the appropriate folder.

Hi ... but i can see that the firmware zd1211 is available on BB. I
compared the files at /lib/firmware/zd1211 with the files located on
Ubuntu host PC(same location).They are same and wi-fi dongle works
with host PC.

So I am not sure what could be the problem with on BB side.

Thanks

But, I guess the error -2 means the file is not found at the expected location.
  Let me see if I can find the cause for this error.

Hi all,

Is anyone successful in using USB Wi-fi adapter from my essentials on
Angstrom.
I tried it and it complains about missing firmware. But I found that
required firmware
(i.e. ZD1211) is all there at /lib/firmware/zd1211 in Angstrom file
system. The same
adapter works with UBUNTU host PC, which all have same firmware files
at
/lib/firmware/zd1211.
