00 - Basic Build Issues
Description
The set of wifi adapters I have do not work right out of the box. I need to validate I have the following for each:
1. Kernel driver loadable module
2. Firmware
3. USB configuration for mdev
The collection of adapters are:
Adapter/Maker Chip Driver Firmware
*TP-Link TL-WN727N Ralink RT5370
TP-Link WN821N
Rosewill RNX-1 RealTek RTL8187
ENUWI-G2 RealTek RTL8187B
The TP-Link TL-WN727N is currently the one in use in testing.
- % Done changed from 0 to 30
Adapter/Maker Chip Vendor:Prod Driver FW Src Firmware
*TP-Link TL-WN727N Ralink RT5370 148f:5370 rt2800usb Kernel
TP-Link WN821Nv3 (AR9171) 0cf3:1002 ar9170 Kernel (ar9271.fw/ htc_9271.fw - ar7010.fw/ar7010_1_1.fw/htc_7010.fw)
Rosewill RNX-1 RealTek RTL8187 (148f:2870) (rt2800uxb) kernel
Edimax ENUWI-G2 RealTek RTL8187B (0ace:1211) (zd1211rw)
Items in parenthesis still need to be verified.

Alternate Firmware locations
Alternate Driver locations
RT5370 driver is available from Ralink site, but not specifically supported by rt2800usb. May need to do the following:
- echo 148F 5370 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id
- load driver
- This implies mod to usbhandler.sh to handle custom scripting for specific devices
TP-Link WN821Nv3 can use the carl9170 driver instead. Legacy driver is ar9180
These updates are yet to be integrated into the build.

Updated comments in src/buildroot/skeleton/etc/usbhandler.conf to reflect current configuration of available wireless adapters.
The configuration for usbhandler.conf was correct. I just didn't have all the adapters properly configured for the local wireless network.
