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).
