Hi Jackie Chau,

About the wifi BCM43362 porting you can refer to the follow document:

Porting BCM4330/BCM43362 WIFI to Android4.2.2

Hope this can help you.

Have a nice day

Best Regards

Dan

Hello Jackie,

Give you some suggestions, see messages below :

(1) check your wpa_supplicant.conf file.

ctrl_interface=wlan0( or for unix mode: =DIR/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant GROUPU=WIFI)

ap_scan=1

update_config=1

(2)wpa_cli command like this:

#wpa_cli -i wlan0

>scan

>ok

Except above, the following is my additional advice, you can also try, if you still have question, you can search "wireless-tools" on internet to get more information about debugging wireless net :

(1) Pay attention to checking the settings of router

(2)Using iwconfig to configure router

such as:

#iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed

#iwconfig wlan0 key 1234567890 (note: should be the password of your router)

#iwconfig wlan0 key open

#iwconfig wlan0 essid TP-LINK_432F1 ( note: router's name)

(3)Getting dynamic IP

# /system/bin/dhcpcd wlan0

(4)Searching AP

you can also use iwlist command to search AP, like this:

# iwlist wlan0 scan

Regards,

Weidong

Hi Weidong,

Thanks for your reply. It seems wifi module can get a dynamic IP by command line. Please take a look on the debug message. However when I move the slide switch from off to on in GUI wifi setting of Android, I can't see any debug message related to insmod *.ko or start wpa_supplicant, in logcat I just see "D/WifiService( 450): setWifiEnabled: true pid=705, uid=1000". I have followed vendor's suggestion to modify *.mk as below. Please kindly advise.
