Whenever you add / remove / rename any build scripts, you have to re-run 
"make prepare". You can run this any time, it will only re-order the 
build scripts.

Yes.

Did you also update the hostap.help file under configuration/help ?

At the moment we only support the pcmcia_cs drivers, since the kernel 
drivers are usually not as good. (Did that change lately ? )

But you have to check the page where the binary only stuff comes
from if they allow packing or not and under which conditions.

Remark: AFAIK please keep in mind that you need different
HAL modules for Europe and the US as there are other
frequencies involved in wireless lan here and there.

> Is it a problem to comply with FCC regulations ? Is GPL v2 enough ?

As said you have to check the licence of the binary-only stuff.
The stuff under GPL is not a problem as it only loads and controls
the most important binary-only part.

and here an extract of the README file ...

The ath_hal module contains the Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL).
This code manages much of the chip-specific operation of the driver.
The HAL is provided in a binary-only form in order to comply with FCC
regulations.  In particular, a radio transmitter can only be operated at
power levels and on frequency channels for which it is approved.  The FCC
requires that a software-defined radio cannot be configured by a user
to operate outside the approved power levels and frequency channels.
This makes it difficult to open-source code that enforces limits on
the power levels, frequency channels and other parameters of the radio
transmitter.  See

http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Orders/2001/fcc01264.pd=
f

for the specific FCC regulation.  Because the module is provided in a
binary-only form it is marked "Proprietary"; this means when you load
it you will see messages that your system is now "tainted".

...

Is it a problem to comply with FCC regulations ? Is GPL v2 enough ?

there is a full gpl driver but, at this time, it's only capable of lightn=
ing the leds !

Furthermore, this driver is hostAP Capable ... so very interesting for us=

Hi Diego,

i got similar pb juste after getting new 1.1 branch ...
it was glib but the same pb ... libiconv didn't get compilled before reff=
erences to it ... look in=20
scripts/.buildorder/rc1.d to ensure it's in the right place (in the very =
first places)

i "solved" the pb by mrproper ...

i also used to get lots of strange compile errors ... i switch number of =

becomes normal. I thought with an HT p4 with smp kernel, i could use 2 bu=

[Devil-linux-develop] new hostap driver and more ...

[Manu \MaNS\ E. <ee...@ma...>]

Hi all,

Hope every one had good time for this new-years eve! ;-))

I'm working on the last hostap driver which is now 3 packages : the 
driver, the utilities and the daemon. So I split the script in 
build/scripts/ from hostap  to  hostap-driver, hostap-utils and hostapd; 
then first build ... he couldn't find hostap script! In fact, i had to 
manualy erase link in scripts/.buildorder and add the 3 new ones to make 
it work ... also in rc1.d and rc2.d as i doesn't want an mrproper ;-)

The question is  ... : do i have to add that link (in 
scripts/.buildorder) myself or is the build system supposed to ? (sorry 
for that, i didn't used the build system since 0.6 ...)

For the others, I guess the next time I run 'make mrproper unpack 
menuconfig prepare build ...' the right links will be created in rc$.d 
by the insserv thing!

I also modified things in scripts/configuration/ to reflect new 
modifications

Am I missing something ?

Another question is : there's 2 ways to build the cardbus driver, 
depending on which pcmcia support we will use : kernel or pcmcia_cs. 
Does any one knows a {clean, clever...} way to copy them both in the 
filesystem so we could choose the right one, depending on wether we use 
pcmcia_cs or not (when DL is booted on a host), as they both have the 
same name!

Maybe the question is non-sense as we use pcmcia_cs with no other choice?

Another thing is I'm on the way to add support for several other 
wireless drivers (TI *ACX100, */Atmel AT76C5XXx, and Madwifi for 
/Atheros AR500X chip sets) as i can have opportunity to hire some for 
testing purpose. Is there any pb with madwifi as they are using a 
binary-only HAL modul supported by Atheros ? the project seems GPLed 
anyway ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] cdrtools 2.01a23 released (Development branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.01a23' of
'cdrtools' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information
can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/cdrecord/

The changes in this release are as follows:
Support for the Solaris volume management system was added. cdda2wav
fixes a bug with non reentrant CD-Text functions. 

Project description:
cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs with a CDR/CDRW
recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications. It
supports CD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc-
and ATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features
include IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data
CDs, and mixed CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable),
TAO, DAO, RAW, and human-readable error messages. cdrtools includes
remote SCSI support and can access local or remote CD writers.

I most likely just found the real problem with cipe.
All additional modules need to be compiled *after* the kernel, this was 
not the case with cipe and the prism54 driver. Both showed the same 
missing symbols.

I updated it in CVS and a new test compile is running right now.
Tomorrow we'll see if it works
(depending on my hangover) ;-)

I added it.  It compiles/installs fine, and is in CVS now, but I haven't
had a chance to recompile samba to see if it fixes the problem.

I adds unicode support, I'm pretty sure we need that somewhere else too.

Please add it.

It appears to be optional in configure.

http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
http://freshmeat.net/projects/libiconv/

  GNU libiconv provides an iconv() implementation for use on systems   
  which don't have one or whose implementation cannot convert from/to 
  Unicode. It supports all the important encodings in use today.

Sounds like we might need it...

Why isn't configure failing when this is not there..... :-(

Yes.

Any idea what "libiconv" is, or if we need it?  (see other reply)

I could add the library if we need it.  Other than that, it'd be hard
for me to test it without a share to mount.

Are you using your version without the security stuff ?

This could probably be a problem with the new samba 3, I doubt that I 
have time to look into it soon.
Can somebody else investigate ?

I did some google'ing on the error.  Someone on the samba list had the
same error, and the reply was:

  ".. it should always work if you have libiconv installed. 
   Did configure detect libiconv and its headers?"

I don't know what "libiconv" is, but it doesn't seem to be in /lib/ or
/usr/lib/ on my DL box.  Maybe we need it?
