If modprobe does nothig it means it loaded and good.

You can do sudo lsmod and see rkwifi in list it means its running.
You do not need to worry about actual module location. Once you run depmod, kernel knows where it is.

Now launch WICD and connect to wifi!

says no wireless networks found

Hmm... can you give me the output of

ls /etc/firmware

?

You may need to

sudo cp /system/etc/firmware/* /etc/firmware/

I think. Run

dmesg | grep firmware

and see where the kernel is trying to load the firmware from. Then go to that location and see if the firmware is there xD

if this command doing nothing then its ok i run this and nothing happens
i have try to run this sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.0.72+/kernel/drivers/net/rkwifi.ko
and says file exist

Yes, its probably moved to /lib/modules/3.0.72+/kernel/drivers/net like it says to do so in Step 9

Try running:

sudo modprobe rkwifi

The kernel and the filesystem are separate.

Think of it like starter and engine in a car.

Starter = kernel
Engine = filesystem

You can change the starter for a different one but it does not affect the petrol in the tank for the engine

Likewise, you can switch kernels all day long and still use the same filesystem, all your changes and files will still remain.

That might be bad analogy, but I hope you understand.

so i try now to do the step 9 and i see file /lib/modules/rkwifi.ko.3.0.72+ not found
is this maybe moved when i have made the step 9 before i flash this kernel?

ok i have flash this kernel and the graphics working good. now i mast do the step 9 again ?
becose i have done bofore the flushing and was working

now file rkwifi.ko.3.0.72+ its not found
and the pc restarts after while

Easy there buddy, don't jump in to compiling without the proper knowledge of such things!

The source is available because some people (like me) like to tinker with the internal workings to change it. I provided that source because the MK908 NAND source was not available.

In that source, I also included link to pre-compiled image for people who do not want to or do not know how to compile: https://github.com/tyeo098/MK908-Ker...ter/kernel.img

Try flashing that

As for your wifi problem, did you move the module to the module to the kernel/drivers/net folder in Step 9?

Hi
sorry for the long post before and yes i am very new in linux but i like it very much. i will try now to flash this one and we see about the wifi after that
thanks you very much

Follow link in post 274. Follow those instructions for 1080P kernel and working wifi for all programs

hi
ok now i have done everything and the graphics looking real good but now i have no internet the command (sudo insmod /lib/modules/rkwifi.ko.3.0.72+) says error could not load module.... no such file or directory
what i have done wrong this time?
i will start one more time everything from the begining i thing there was some errors when i have run the ./maker.sh this time i will try to make it correct

what i make wrong?

[kotsos75]

Follow link in post 274. Follow those instructions for 1080P kernel and working wifi for all programs

ok i have done all steps but i dont know how to do the last one:
(But I love you guys. So here is the kernel source (and precompiled image) on my github, with paranoid wifi and other flag disabled. So you can fork and modify to your hearts content.

https://github.com/tyeo098/MK908-Kernel-NAND

ust run maker.sh which compiles and assembles the kernel source into something usable.)

i am going to this link and i don't understand how to do that. is any step by step guide? it looks very difficult to me
anyway i am very excited looking this mini pc working like real desktop
thanks

Hi
thanks you for the reply. i have yesterday try one more time with picuntu 4.5 i have done this time what the post #78 says and now i have internet too (not for all programs but firefox works when i run it as root) but the graphics is bad. is it posible to work graphiks good or this is not posible yet?
every time i have try to flash only the recovery kernel my mk908 not boot.when i try to erese nand this stops very quickly in 2sec. and give me mesage (O.K.) but i think this is not eresed is this very important to erese nand? or i am ok becose my mk908 works with picuntu right now
i forget to tell you that i have flash the divice with the first (#1 post) full image. is this corect or i have to flash any newer?

Yes, you will need to flash a recovery kernel (check out mine on github) for MK908V3 and put a rootfs on an SD card with label 'linuxroot'

Or follow my direction 3 posts above for NAND install to get rid of android.

Hi all
i have try to install picuntu on my MK908 v3(from china no idea if is the real one) and works good but without wifi. i have try 2 diferent usb wifi dongles but nothing. so i like to ask if someone have full rom pack with working wifi becose i have read many times about kernels and i have no idea what this is. i have flush the finless 1.7a and this the only android rom that works with my device. is there any easy way to have finless 1.7a in nand and picuntu or any other linux in sd card and be to duall boot?
sorry for my bad english
thanks in advance
