|
||||
- wland was incorrectly using kernel headers in its compile.
|
||||
- Adhoc mode was auto-roaming onto "any" SSID. Fixed.
|
||||
- Implemented the dot11req_scan/dot11req_scan_results functions.
|
||||
- Implemented the dot11req_scan & dot11req_scan_results functions.
|
||||
This, combined with more intelligent startup scripts, will allow
|
||||
you to per-network profiles.
|
||||
- hfa384x.h updates.
|
||||
- additions to the MIB.
|
||||
- Rewrote most of the existing wireless extension code.
|
||||
- Add the Microsoft MN510 device ID.
|

you per-network profiles. Scripts are unwritten as yet. :)
|
||||
- hfa384x.h and MIB updates.
|
||||
- Rewrote the wireless extension support code; moved to p80211 layer.
|
||||
Now we're compatible with at least v6-v14, and everything
|
||||
inbetween. We hook up to the new iw_request structure, which
|
||||
makes further wireless extension support much easier to add.
|
||||
- Add the Microsoft MN510 USB device ID.
|
||||
- Finally fix the 'crash on unload' problem for 2.2.x kernels with PCI.
|
||||
Turns out the kcompat24 code wasn't quite complete. (Matthew Rush)
|
||||
- Cleaned up our usage of __FUNCTION__ to make gcc 3.x happy.
