--ikeVEW9yuYc//A+q Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'd like to draw your attention to some patches I've created which provide a consistent interface to configuring 802.11 wireless cards via ifconfig. Currently, wi and an cards are supported, but the interface is designed to be general is with some minor work support for awi and ray cards could be added. Patches for current are available at: http://www.one-eyed-alien.net/~brooks/FreeBSD/ifconfig.diff Patches against stable are at: http://www.one-eyed-alien.net/~brooks/FreeBSD/ifconfig.diff-stable The userland interfaces are based on those in BSD/OS (5.0 I think), but are slightly different. Compatibility with both BSD/OS and NetBSD is provided in ifconfig. The new kernel interfaces are inspired by Bill Paul's interfaces to the wi and an drivers. Media support is almost entirely taken from NetBSD. Comments and suggestions appreciated. -- Brooks P.S. I can't get my Cisco card to work with crypto under STABLE with or without my patches, so while they should work, I can't say for sure. It works perfectly under CURRENT. --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
