Obtain source file of the drivers so you can compile those drivers and upload to your camera system. So that when the hardware is connected, camera (host) can identify the hardware and connect with it. Its like, when you connect an USB dongle to your computer, it loads the driver. Your microprocessor does not load drivers like your PC, so you need to do it yourself.
First thing, locate Makefile. The file includes compilation instructions and failing to do it right will mean no wifi for your camera board. In the Makefile, edit values for:

Ingenic uses ‘mips’ architecture so use it for ARCH ‘ARCH := mips’

For COMPILER and Kernel Path, it is will be a cross compilation – kind of dependent on what you got in the OpenIPC. To enlighten yourself further, read this: https://blukat.me/2017/12/cross-compile-arm-kernel-module/
We can now move onto download and extract OpenIPC firmware, its extracted file will provide us the paths for Compiler and Kernal.

Upload the .ko (drivers) and FMAC (your script file can have a different name) script file to the folder of your choosing. Please make sure to edit the corresponding paths in the (FMAC) script file if required.
