[   36.565221] mmci-pl18x: probe of fpga:05 failed with error -38[   36.579433] mmci-pl18x: probe of fpga:0b failed with error -38

ACTUAL OUTCOME: dmesg shows errors:

[    5.001720] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2
[    5.004201] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2

Comment 1 Nitin Kamble 2014-05-21 22:52:50 UTC 
This is caused by missing firmware modules in the image. I have a fix testing it now.
Comment 2 Nitin Kamble 2014-05-22 17:36:15 UTC 
I have the correct firmware loading properly. But I notice that wifi on the platform is not working. We have not planned supporting wifi on the Sugarbay BSP, this is not the best time to add a new feature to do it. We will keep wifi disabled in the BSP for 1.6 and will look at this issue in 1.6

Comment 3 Nitin Kamble 2014-08-27 14:54:24 UTC 
I am in the process of creating the machine configurations for the image configurator. I am planning to add the wifi support for the sugarbay machine there.
Comment 4 Nitin Kamble 2014-09-24 23:51:04 UTC 
I have a working patch for this issue. Will be sending out for shortly.

    meta-sugarbay: Add wifi machine feature to sugarbay.conf
    
    The Huron River platform targeted by this BSP has wifi capability.
    The common kernel used by the BSP has already enabled wifi drivers.
    
    Enable the user space wifi tools, which give functional wifi
    networking to the Huron River platform.
