How to build upgt firmware
I think I just need to know how to build the upgt firmware. I'm not finding anything anywhere on this, except my own posts from release 8.2!
upgt is a wireless usb stick driver and as of release 9.0 is now included loaded in the GENERIC kernel, but it requires firmware. The firmware is available from a location but it seems to be broken: the filename for the firmware is sometimes called Code:
upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz Code:
upgt-fw-2.13.1.0.tar.gz Moreover, inspecting the contents it is internally inconsistent, and also specifies the wrong total size in bytes. I unpacked it, re-packed it with consistent name, and adjusted the checksum to match and tried a manual make. It then goes and tries to install a file that's just not present in the zip. Also, wierdly, making the build attempts to retrieve itself from Code:
/usr/ports/distfiles Are there TWO files, one called firmware and one called fw? Or is it completely broken? How are you supposed to build this? Can anyone help? Thanks very much. |
