rt2400/rt2500 Linux Driver

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: rt2x00-2.0.0-b3

Notes:
Hello everyone,

This release is the third preview of the rt2x00 driver. Please see the changelog for more details.

We are interested in seeing results from people configuring and attempting associations on open AP's. This will be the last BETA release before our migration to a new core ieee80211 stack.

Any bugs you find please open a new thread on the forums here for discussion. After review we may then ask you to promote the bug into SorceForge.

Any questions, please post a thread.

The forums can be found at http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2

Changes:
 - Version: rt2x00 beta 3
	# Increase all offsets of USB registers with 0x0400. (27 October 2005)
	# Change build process, ieee80211 are build at same time as rt2x00. (03 November 2005)
	# rt2500usb EEPROM access should not be byteordered. (10 November 2005)
	# The MAC address should be printed from core module. (10 November 2005)
	# Wait with PCI interrupt line registration untill device is initialized. (10 November 2005)
	# Perform optimizations to reduce stack size of several functions. (11 November 2005)
	# Periodically update statistics from device (i.e. noise). (11 November 2005)
	# When authentication has timed out, check what step needs to be retried. (11 November 2005)
	# Implement signal level measurement and periodically update this. (12 November 2005)
	# rt2500usb EEPROM is little endian. (15 November 2005)
	# Correctly handle little endian to big endian conversions. (17 November 2005)
	# Don't report BSSID with iwconfig when not associated. (19 November 2005)
	# Don't attempt to connect to encrypted networks when encryption is disabled. (19 November 2005)
	# Allow scanning while interface is down by temporarily enabling radio. (21 November 2005)
	# Remove overhead in get_scan ioctl by using semaphores instead of msleep(). (22 November 2005)
	# By default and invalid geography setting should allow channels 1 to 11 and no 5GHz. (23 November 2005)
	# Add wireless event handling for association/disassociation and scan completion. (25 November 2005)
	# Base set_security() on the same implementation as the ipw2200 driver. (27 November 2005)
	# Add private ioctl calls {set,get}_adhoc_ofdm for 54Mbit support in ad-hoc mode. (01 December 2005)
	# USB requires its DMA buffers to be 2400 bytes for RX and 2342 bytes for TX. (03 December 2005)
	# Write size of rx data bufer to the device register, preventing overlapping data. (04 December 2005)
	# USB device should not use its own sequence number inside TX frames. (04 December 2005)
	# ACK timeout and consume time should be calculated with 1Mb/s instead of active speed. (04 December 2005)
	# Only read EEPROM at probe time, store BBP init information in private structure. (08 December 2005)
