Introduction

  • WLAN AP driver for PS3 Jupiter (slim only)
  • Please report bugs and problems to me.

Features

  • 802.11bg support
  • Wireless Extension interface
  • WEP, WPA1 and WPA2 support (work in progress)

PS3 Jupiter Driver

Compiling

  • You can compile it on PS3 Linux or cross-compile on a Linux PC
git clone git://gitorious.ps3dev.net/ps3linux/ps3jupiter.git
cd ps3jupiter
make KSRC_DIR=/home/glevand/kernel/linux-3.5.3 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-linux-

Configuration

  • For configuration you need wireless-tools: iwconfig and so on.
# Load the drivers

insmod ./ps3_jupiter.ko
insmod ./ps3_jupiter_ap.ko

# Configure channel and SSID

iwconfig wlan1 channel 6
iwconfig wlan1 essid wlan_rockz

ifconfig wlan1 192.168.201.200
ifconfig wlan1 up

# WLAN LED should be green now

# Connect to the AP with a PC client and try to ping your AP
# Set static IP address ony your client, e.g. 192.168.201.201

Test

  • Tested on my PS3 Slim with Linux kernel 3.5.3 and Debian
  • Tested with no security

Future Work

  • Create a LiveCD with WLAN AP mode
  • Create a petitboot with WLAN AP mode
  • Implement PS3 WLAN drivers for PS3 PHAT (not able to do currently because i don't have a PS3 PHAT for testing)
