Bought a PQI Air wifi sd card adapter.

I used a camera to setup, I

Copied firmware from here

sd wifi firmware

used kcard-buildroot-0.2

extract the files, and then copy to the root directory of the sd card. You'll need to install a micro sd card into the adapter so you have a place to copy the files to.

insert card into camera, and turn on camera.

Waited a while, 5 minutes or so

Cycle power on camera, and wait some more. It took a few minutes, but then wifisd will show up on your wifi list.

Connect to wifisd, then make a telnet connection to 192.168.1.1

After you make the telnet connection, change the password for root using the command "passwd".

After you type the in, it will ask for a new password.

After you change the password, you can connect via SSH using this password.

Type "cd .." then "ls" a few times, until the listing doesn't change when you type ls

type cd etc

1. edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /etc/ by typing "vi wpa_supplicant.conf"

Note the vi is pretty basic and not the most straightforward, if you haven't used to read up a bit on it

Edit the file with your wifi info for SSID and Password.

    network={

        ssid="NetworkSSID"

        scan_ssid=1

        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

        psk="Password"

    }

2. place an autorun.sh file in /mnt/sd/

Type cd .. the cd mnt then vi autorun.sh and then put this into the file

    #!/bin/sh

    exec 1<&-

    exec 1<> /mnt/sd/log.txt

    /etc/init.d/S45hostapd stop

    /etc/init.d/S50udhcpd stop

    wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i mlan0 &

    udhcpc -i mlan0

Cycle camera power. Go to your router and get the list of clients, you should see something named

Siliconware Precision Industrie

This is your wifi card. Note the ip address, and you can make a ssh connection at that ip address.
