Wifi

MSI 3070 (wifi)

lsusb identifies the wireless network adaptor as 0db0:3822 (or 0db0:3871) - Micro Star International. There are currently three-and-a-half options for drivers for this device:

  • The one bundled in the Toshiba kernel sources, under /drivers/net/wireless/DPA_RT3070_WiFiBTCombo/ . This compiles to three separate modules, which have to be inserted in the right order, and will mark the kernel as “tainted”.
  • The GPL'd ralink sources, available at http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 . Currently at version 2.4.0.1 . You'll have to edit the Makefile to add paths to your ARM cross-compiler and kernel sources, and os/linux/config.mk to set the necessary -I flags and enable support for WPA supplicant. Results in a single GPL-licensed kernel module.
  • The in-kernel sources. If you look under drivers/staging/rt2870/, you'll find a slightly cleaned-up version of ralink's driver. It requires you to enable “STAGING” drivers when configuring the kernel.
  • Finally, the rt2x00 drivers are in the mainline kernel, under drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00, but these report only testing/development support for the 3070. In fact it works decently and is the best option. It additionally allows to use hostapd (AP mode) and and has monitor/injection support. The main limitation is that it can't have a “managed” and an “ap” interfaces active simultaneously.

Supplemental Chips

There are several supplemental ICs connected to the Tegra 250 main processor via various buses. The following lists some of them:

TPS658621A-1

ADT7461 (not found, but mentioned in the source, maybe inside Tegra)

  • temperature monitor

ENE KB926QF-D3

  • keyboard controller, embedded controller
  • datasheet: ENE KB926D Toshiba

THGBM2G7D4FBAI9

Mobile broadband

The 3G model contains an Ericsson F3307 Mobile Broadband Module. With the provided kernel sources, this presents itself as /dev/ttyACM{0,1,2} as well as a cdc network device “usb0” (wwan0 in recent kernels). Excerpt from dmesg:

usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bdb, idProduct=190a

cdc_wdm 2-1.1:1.8: cdc-wdm1: USB WDM device
cdc_acm 2-1.1:1.9: ttyACM2: USB ACM device

Webcam

The webcam is a 1.3M LITEON 09P2SF118 or Chicony CNF9161_A2 part with integrated digital mic.
