./scripts - scripts used at run-time

./src - source code for various components

Note:
|
|
Some of the subdirectories have empty README files. This means we haven't
|
|
gotten to the contents of these directories. The empty README is just a trick
|
|
to prevent CVS from pruning the directory.
|
|
|
|
Build Instructions:
|
|
|
|
1) untar the package using
|
|
|
|
tar zxvf linux-wlan-ng.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
or you can use winzip with the file linux-wlan-ng.tar.
|
|
|
|
2) Make sure you have configured kernel and pcmcia sources on your system.
|
|
|
|
3) Modify the config.mk file, here's a description of the settings:
|
|
|
|
LINUX_SRC Path to your kernel source tree
|
|
PCMCIA_SRC Path to your pcmcia source tree
|
|
MODULES_DIR Path to your modules directory, use by 'make install'
|
|
INST_EXEDIR Path to your static bin directory
|
|
DESTDIR= Alternate desination prefix for install
|
|
|
|
Note: I haven't tested the install, I'm not sure that all of the components
|
|
will make it to their appropriate destinations.
|
|
|
|
4) Execute the 'make all' command
|
|
|
|
5) Since we don't have any actual devices yet, you can try loading the modules
|
|
by hand. Here's the sequence:
|
|
|
|
insmod src/p80211/p80211.o
|
|
insmod src/skeleton/skelwland_cs.o
|
|
|
|
now do the following command:
|
|
|
|
ifconfig wlan0
|
|
|
|
You should see that the wlan0 interface exisits. You can try configuring
|
|
wlan0. BEWARE, it might leave your system unstable! The skeleton driver
|
|
is just a demonstation and test fixture, it skips over alot of stuff a
|
|
real driver is supposed to do. You can confirm the skeleton methods being
|
|
called by checking your kernel.* output via syslog (you might have to edit
|
|
syslog.conf, most distributions send kernel.* to /dev/null by default). Using
|
|
this same method you should be able to run wlanctl to send commands down
|
|
to the driver. It won't act on them, but it will write an entry to the log
|
|
indicating receipt.
