Unfortunately the card isn´t recognize - Ranger doesn´t show the card under PCI - the device can´t find a card. whats wrong ? please advise.
btw. the card works great in my abit pc under windows.
Kind Regards Godfather

Did you enable the PCIe x1 slot by the Jumper setting and uboot vairiable as explained in the Sam460ex manual page 8 ?

Check to see if the card is recognized by Uboot.
To do this get in to the Uboot Shell then type pci 03 and then enter key.
If the card is recognized then you should get a pciid.

... nothing ! no pci information.... seams that the uboot / sam460 have a timing problem during the init phase. is there a uboot command to increase the init phase ?
Kind Regards

The supported bridges that I know work are the Pex 8112 and the ASM1083/1085 .
You may be able to use a Pex8112 pciex1 to PCI adapater and a PCI version wireless card.
Or use a a Wi-Fi ethernet Hub .
