Simple Wi Fi client on ARC development boards

Software configuration

Linux kernel configuration

For Wi-Fi to work it is essentially required to enable drivers for a Wi-Fi device available on the board or attached via USB. But before that it is required to enable 802.11:

• CONFIG_CFG80211 - Wireless configuration API
• CONFIG_MAC80211 - Hardware independent IEEE 802.11 networking stack

Once 2 options above enabled proceed to selection of Wi-Fi chip driver. For AXS10x boards we usually use USB Wi-Fi dongles based on Atheros
