arm linux support wifi

background:

　　The company's products with the motherboard supports wifi interfaces, in order to enhance the product's features, make the underlying support wifi.

Overview

The main process is as follows:

Kernel Configuration + For + software-driven transplant transplant + software configuration

Kernel Configuration

Networking support
        <*>   RF switch subsystem support  --->
                [*]   Power off on suspend (NEW)
                <*>   Generic rfkill regulator driver
                （防止使用wpa_supplicant会出现rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL  control device错误。）

        -*-   Wireless  --->
        <*>   cfg80211 - wireless configuration API
        [*]     nl80211 testmode command
        [*]     enable powersave by default
        [*]     cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility
        <*>   Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack  (mac80211)

As additional AP hotspot

Device Drivers  --->
   [*] Network device support  --->
        [*] Wireless LAN  --->
                        <*>    IEEE 802.11 for Host AP  (Prism2/2.5/3 and WEP/TKIP/CCMP)
                        [*]     Support downloading firmware  images with Host AP driver
                        [*]       Support for non-volatile  firmware download

Software migration

Based on the data, the relevant transplant wifi drive each tool as follows:

Package	Explanation
WirelessTools	Only support WEP authentication
wpa_supplicant	Support WPA authentication
hostapd	hostapd enables wireless card switch to master mode, analog AP (generally may be considered a router) function Soft AP (Soft AP)
dhcpcd	dhcpcd is to achieve DHCP client, it can run as a background daemon.
