==How to enable WiFi support==
=== Kernel setup ===
Edit kernel configuration adding support for MMC and WL1271 chipset
=== Make Wireless Tools ===
[http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html Wifi Tools]
[http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Mac80211_based_open_source_architecture FW DWL]
To build Wireless tools you need to modify the Makefile in order to cross-compile and install the tools:
Make:
* Check that the root file system path is correct
* Check the env CROSS_COMPILE and PATH variables
* make all
* sudo make install
== Module Firmware ==
Download the firmware binaries and copy them into <RFS>/lib/firmware:
* wl1271-fw.bin
* wl1271-nvs.bin
== User Space ==

===Dev Check===
Check module loading and device creation:
<pre>
ifconfig -a

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
</pre>
Set the wlan0 MAC address:
<pre>
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xx:yy:zz:kk:ww:jj
</pre>
You can create a simple script: '''setwmac''' to set the MAC address:
Use:
<pre>
setwmac 00:01:02:03:04:05
</pre>
Example:
<pre>
root@dm814x-evm:~# setwmac 00:50:C2:B9:CF:87
Disable Wlan0...
Set Wlan MAC: 00:50:C2:B9:CF:87
Enable Wlan0...
