Adding a wifi driver to your firmware
---
Since most cameras have very little flash memory, openipc images don't contain many wifi drivers, as they can easily be 1.5MB+ per driver.
Since most cameras have very little flash memory, OpenIPC firmware images don't contain many wifi drivers, as they can easily be 1.5MB+ per driver.
This means that in many cases, you will have to add the appropriate wifi driver to your firmware image.
### Step 1: preparing the build environment
