wlan not detected on Allwinner A10 Smart TV Box
October 15, 2012 06:51PM
Hi,

I have a Smart TV Box device (Allwinner A10 platform) purchased from http://www.kimdecent.com/tvbox/42.html

It runs Android ICS without any issues. I used an 8GB micro-SD card to install the Rescue System and Debian (thanks Jeff for making the installation so effortless :-)

After installation, the wireless interface is not being detected by the Rescue System or Debian kernels. I used the wired Ethernet interface for installation.

root@debian:~# ifconfig -a

dmesg output from my device is attached.

Any help in getting the wireless NIC working is much appreciated! Thanks.
