Subject: [9fans] centrino wireless driver
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 08:47:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ee9e417a0511280547o1cda2062yd27822231ffd4445@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I wrote the bulk of a driver for the wireless card
found in most Intel laptops these days. It's in
/n/sources/contrib/rsc/ipw2200.
It is *unfinished*, i.e. *not* in working condition.
I've done all the low-level card setup and framework
for issuing commands and sending and receiving
packets.
What's left is figuring out how to scan for a base
station, associate with it, and then the various
wireless packet header processing in the packet
send and receive.
Also, occasionally I see "fatal errors" coming from
the card. They seem to be associated with getting
a lot of packets all at once, though there are plenty
of buffers in the receive ring when that happens.
I may or may not get back to finishing it, so I'm
putting it up in case someone else wants to play.
Russ
