CoreExpress Carrierboard Manual v1.0

2 Preinstalled Ubuntu on micro SD card

To make the start easier, we already preinstalled
Ubuntu 9.04 on a 8 GB micro SD card.

2.2 Drivers

2.2.1 Wifi

The stock dirvers coming with Ubuntu 9.04 still
have issues with the support of 801.11n for the
latest wireless LAN cards.

Therefore, we com-

piled and installed the drivers from

http://www.

linuxwireless.org/

. We recommend the use

of WLAN devices with Atheros chipsets because
Linux driver support seems to be the best. A list of
supported devices is also available at

http://www.

linuxwireless.org/

If you update your kernel, please download the latest
version of the Linux wireless driver that is suitable to
the new kernel version, install the kernel-headers and
compile and install the new driver version.

We removed the GNOME Networkmanager and in-
stalled the networkmanager

wicd

instead. wicd runs

more stable and runs as a service. You can config-
ure it with a GUI to automatically connect to you de-
sired wireless network. Once configured properly, the
connection will be established without having to log
into your system locally. Depending on your wireless
device, one of the blue status LEDs indicates that a
connection is established.

Attention: Wireless networks secured with WEP do
not support 802.11n speed!

Either use unsecured

wireless networks or better WPA(2) secured networks
with AES encryption.

2.2.2 USB Client port

You can use the USB client port (port 3) to act ei-
ther as mass storage device or as a networking device
using the

Linux-USB Gadget API Framework

, which

is already installed. For a full documentation, see

http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget

Additionally, to make the gedget drivers working with
the USB-client port, you need to patch and recompile
your kernel. The patch and a manual is located in the
folder “intel.com” on the Desktop of the user asctec.

2.2.3 Graphics

The Intel GMA500 graphics card is not supported by
Ubuntu 9.04 by default. Therefore,
