Hello, developers! I'm trying to build acx100-0.2.0pre1 and I thought I'd share a simple observation with with. The README is quite helpful about the various ways to obtain the firmware, but I would have been able to whiz through it more casually had it explicitly said: wget ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwl520+/Driver/dwl520+_driver_302.zip unzip dwl520+_driver_302.zip cp Win2000/WLANGEN.BIN Win2000/RADIO0d.BIN Win2000/RADIO11.BIN firmware/ Just thought I'd mention it for the next release's README. _/|_ _______________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mi...@in...> http://www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ The IBM 360 had no stack, and that was stupid, short-sighted design. The Cray 2 has no stack either, but that's elegant minimalism. -- Listen to my wife's new CD of kids' music, _Child's Play_, at http://www.pipedreaming.org.uk/childsplay/ |

Err, you're simply not supposed to whiz through it casually ;-) Too many n00bs are asking too many st....range questions due to not having read the README of an EXPERIMENTAL and still quite problematic driver (more problematic than I thought it'd be!) when experiencing problems. But OTOH I also thought about presenting this part like that, but forget to change it before the new release. -- Kein Vertrauen in Trusted Computing http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/jk-08.08.03-004/ |
