Blaz,
I see you catch my drift....cheers. That's exactly what I am referring to...I
know Lucent is pretty tight in giving out info on the Hermes firmware API...adhoc
mode is not good...it is just a ptp connection...
I was just wandering whether any geezer has gone into the pain of squeezing any
info to make DCF and PCF a reality...but I guess the kernel on the lucent wavelan
bridge must have something more than just the hermes firmware of the RF card in
place to do that ..
If anyone has got any info on it it would be cool to see what's in it.. :)
Cheers guys
Theo
