VNWLC6 CE 6.0 Subproject

Hello,

I'm having a problem with adding a Wifi driver for my USB Wireless dongle
Model:VNT6656GUA00.

I installed the VNWLC6.msi and added the VNT VNWLC6 Wireless LAN under the
Third Party->Device drivers in the Catalog.
So under the Subprojects there si the VNWLC6 project.

I first tried to create a new NK.bin with the wanted Wifi support and it
all stops at the line that is saying this:

Error: Module VNWLC6.dll built for I386, kernel built for Thumb



So i tried to build the subproject, but there is a error in my postlik.bat
saying:

BUILD: [01:0000000022:ERRORE]  postlink.bat failed - rc = 1

and the subprojects postlink.bat is the following:

rem - copy dll and pdb to flatreleasedir

copy Target\%_TGTCPU%\%WINCEDEBUG%\VNWLC6.*  %_FLATRELEASEDIR%
copy Target\%_TGTCPU%\%WINCEDEBUG%\VNWLC6.* 
%_PROJECTROOT%\cesysgen\oak\target\%_TGTCPU%\%WINCEDEBUG%


What am i not seeing ?


Thanks in advance,
b

Hi,

VNWLC6.msi is nor for ARMV4, I think it's impposible to build with it.

Hi,

mindee

Hello,

Well, the driver for CE 5.0 would be great, but i can't find it.
Hopefully it can be compiled for ARMIV.

Oh, if you own the driver, you could point it to me.


Thanks,
b

Hello,

I found the drivers for this WLAN USB Dongle.

I added them to the forum, so anyone can download them fast ;)

The Attachment contains the drivers for CE 5.0 and CE 6.0.


Good Day,

Hi Boštjan,
with the driver uploaded by you, when you add in Platform Builder, I get
this error and Visual Studio resets:


"Si è verificato il seguente errore durante l'analisi XML:

File: c:\wince600\3rdparty\vnt\vnuwlc6\PlatformBuilderTempProject.vcproj
Riga: 91

Messaggio di errore:

non caricato."

Dear all,

I would like to use WiFi also with my board, but I'm facing the same
problem : WinCE 6.0 drivers are for X86 architecture only. I have asked VIA
for drivers on their website, after a first useless answer (please visit
the FAQs, download section and so on), I sent a second message and I'm
waiting for the answer. I'll let you know if I get something interesting.

Hello,

Yea, VIA is really uninterested about adding drivers support for ARM
architecture.

I have currently paused the mission to add the WiFi support to the
Mini2440.
Now I'm working on a Silverlight application in CE 6.0 with the R3 update,
that supports this functionality.


So hopefully the drivers are available as soon as possible.

Good day,
b

thanks for your work

My VT6656 wifi usb key don't work under CE 6.0.
But it is possible to find some wifi rndis usb keys that don't need
dedicated drivers. I wrote an article on my website :
http://www.domodom.fr/spip/spip.php?article28&lang=en
domdom

I followed your guide using a NETGEAR WiFi (
http://www.netgear.com/Products/Adapters/SuperGWirelessAdapters/WG111T.aspx
) but asked me to insert the driver. I used WinCE 5.

Are you sure that your WIFI USB Key is RNDIS ?

mmm no

I only tested USRobotics key, but I just added in my article some
references of keys that are based on the same chipset (and that are likely
to be RNDIS, but I'm not sure of that)

i have just fresh compiled ARM/MIPS VT6656 CE6.0 driver let me know who
needs it

Yes, I'm very interested, please could send it to me at the following
address : l3dkzmtz8sdnr0x@jetable.net ?
(or explain me how to download it).
Do you have the source code ?
Thanks in advance
domdom

if maybe, i think i need  vt6656 ce 6.0 driver about arm .I am puzzle about
the Rndis.

Hello allenpan,

Please if you have the driver, give it on-line somehow.

About the caichang RNDIS; it does not work with the vnt6656 dongle...


Good day,
b

I had contact with VIA tech support asking them for the WinCE6 driver. They
sent me the driver (binary, no sources) for MX27. Last weekend, I built an
NK.bin with these drivers, and I can confirm that they work on the
Mini2440. Please find attached the archive containing the driver.

Huh,

Thanks for your UpLoad here, i'll try it as soon i get home from work.


Thanks again,
b

Hey,Milan van den Muyzenberg can you post an NK.bin with this driver for a
3.5' mini2440? I don't have plataform builder. Please

Thanks,

Hi, have you tested it in wince 6.0 os struct on the mini 2440?

HeyHo,

Yea, i tested it and it works, it recognized the device and loaded the
driver transparently. 
It was allso shown in the network connections, but i didn't figure it out
how to connect to a WPA2 network at home. 
I tried to create an other network with 64-bit encription, but don't know
how to connect... Need fo figure it out...


Thanks for the dll and Good day,
b

Hey,
    I wish I could help you , but not. So sorry ! I am working it too now
!Good Luck!

Hey,

I got it to work, all that was needed was the WiFi support under the 

Comunications services and Networking->
   Networking - Local Area Network(LAN)->
      Wireless LAN


And it even works with WPA2 Encription...


Good job Mr. Milan van den Muyzenberg

Thanks and good day,
b

I try the the driver for MX27 posted by Milan van den Muyzenberg in
Wince6.0, it works smoothly! Kudos to Milan van den Muyzenberg. Thank you
