Introduction 1.1 Overview This document describes the functions of the Marvell Wireless Module Configuration for the HP SDGOB-0892 or Marvell USB8687 802.11 b/g/n WLAN Client Module. 1.2 Wireless Networks The Marvell Client Module operates similar to the Ethernet card, except that a radio replaces the wires between communication devices. All existing applications that operate over Ethernet operate a Marvell wireless network without any modification of need for special wireless networking software. The HP SDGOB-0892 or Marvell USB8786 802.11 b/g/n WLAN client module supports the following network technologies:

Access Point (AP) Infrastructure mode Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) mode 1.2.1 Infrastructure Mode In infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate with other wireless devices or devices on the LAN side wired network through APs. When communicating through wired networks, client card sends and receive information through APs. Access Points are typically strategically located within an area to provide optimal coverage for wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple APs to provide coverage over a wide area. APs connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. APs send and receive information from the LAN through this wired connection. Most corporate WLANs operate in Infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to use services such as file servers or printers. 1.2.2 Ad Hoc Mode In Ad-Hoc mode (also refereed to as peer-to-peer mode), wireless clients send and receive information to other wireless clients without using an AP. In comparison to Infrastructure mode, this type of WLAN connection only contains wireless client. Ad-Hoc mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required. Two or more computers can establish an Ad-Hoc network when within range of one another. Ad-Hoc mode is used to connect network computers at home or in small offices. It can also be used to set up a temporary wireless network for meetings. ________________________________________________________________________ Copyright 2009 Marvell Doc.

Upgrade Regular Fedora Core Kernel The HP SDGOB-0892 or Marvell USB8786 802.11 b/g/n WLAN Client Module requires Fedora Kernel version 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 for proper operation. Follow the steps below to upgrade the Fedora Core from (2.6.23.1-42.fc8 Version) to Kernel Version: 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 Login fedora as root Download : ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/updates/8/i386/kernel-2.6.24.4-

Install Fedora Core 8, which has kernel version: 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 64.fc8.i686.rpm Copy kernel-2.6.24.4-64.fc8.i686.rpm and kernel-devel-2.6.24.4-

64.fc8.i686.rpm to your working directory, say, /(work). # cd /(work)

# rpm --force ivh kernel-2.6. 24.4-64.fc8.i686.rpm (or double click this this rpm is binary release for i686 (bootable kernel/modules) rpm icon) o Reboot the system. ________________________________________________________________________ Copyright 2009 Marvell Doc.

Marvell WLAN Setup Overview 3. 1 For Driver Build then the driver and utility binaries can be found in ../bin_xxxx directory. 3.2 For Driver Install create the directory if it doesn't exist. 3.3 Set up a simple Network Connection To set up a simple network connection, follow the installation steps:

To install USB8786 driver with MFG firmware file

/lib/firmware/mrvl/usb8786mfg.bin, using the following command:

For example, to install USB8786 driver, insmod mlan.ko insmod usb8786.ko [fw_name=mrvl/usb8786.bin]

To remove the USB driver, insmod usb8786.ko mfgmode=1 fw_name=mrvl/usb8786mfg.bin rmmod usb8xxx rmmod mlan a. Copy the file, usb8786.bin, from FwImage folder of current release to

/lib/firmware/mrvl/ directory (create the directory mrvl in /lib/firmware if it doesn't exist). b. Go to bin_usb8786 folder of current release and install firmware/driver using command:

# insmod usb8786.ko c. To associate with an Access Point by using the command

# iwconfig mlan0 essid ESSID_OF_ROUTER d. Then assign an IP address to mlan0 interface by using command below. Please note that configure the desired IP to be the same subnet as the AP. For example,

#ifconfig mlan0 192.168.1.101 up ________________________________________________________________________ Copyright 2009 Marvell Doc. No________ Rev.V0.5 Page 5 February 3, 2009 Document Classification: Proprietary Information Confidential 802.11 b/g/n WLAN Module Users Manual ________________________________________________________________________ e. Now the user should be able to ping the AP or other clients that are connected to the AP. To un-install the driver, enter the command at the prompt,

#rmmod usb8786.ko Note: Please Refer to README file in bin_usb8786 folder for other commands
