Hi all
I've updated the driver for the Webgear Wireless LAN cards (orginally
ported from NetBSD)
Download from
http://www.ragnet.demon.co.uk/raylink-1.1.tar.gz or
http://www.ragnet.demon.co.uk/raylink.tar.gz
It's still only for FreeBSD-3.x, but as soon as I've finished writing
this announcement I'm going to put together a 4.0 and a -current box with the
intention of starting work on porting it.
Changes since the last announced verson (0.9)
Version 1.1: 24/4/00
Updates since 0.91:
A major re-write of the driver so that controlling the card is
fully synchronous. This means that dhcp will work.
Much faster transmit, a P75 can max out the 2Mb/s bandwidth.
Improvements all over the code.
Multi-cast is currenltly broken.
All code knf.
N.B. Version 1 never exisited, 0.91 was the last version before
the re-write. The driver is now heading for version 2 to be
a stable release for all FreeBSD kernels later than 3.1.
Version 0.91: 4/4/00
Updates since 0.9:
Fix mbuf leaking on tranmsit (thanks to rob@pioneernet.net for
pointing out the bug).
Fix IFQ_MAXLEN (thanks to ngr@9fs.org and rob@pioneernet.net for
pointing out the bug).
Added signal strength cache and antenna switching (untested as
verison 4 firmware doesn't seem to return the right value).
