Let me clear up some things here: 1) This is not "mine" driver. It's Damien's with a lot of patches that I h= ope=20 to test by putting out this version. 2) iwiconfig is no longer needed to load firmware. iwi-firmware-kmod from= =20 ports is the weapon of choice for both, the driver version from CVS and the= =20 one from my page. 3) The aim is to merge the changes in "my" driver to CVS modulo regressions= =2E =20 That is why I am mostly interested in side-by-side testing. I will put out= a=20 new tarball later this week that will help with that. If you already did=20 some such testing, I'd be happy to hear your results. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart1980493.HrfDQ4Ebz6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBEHzz0XyyEoT62BG0RAqkNAJ0VPpwEvOi1nPb/AD7vY0ujvmlWmwCfcMh8 BbxgV2Q8rh357lWHi5lsl/s= =wXyf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1980493.HrfDQ4Ebz6--
