Hi Heiko,
thanks to your help i have successfully build DL 0.6 from cvs and i get
the hostap driver (cvs too) work fine on my notebook. :-))
I have a little more job to do before releasing that work :
- test it with a pci wireless card and with the ap mod enabled (mode
master), it's my goal !
- there is two builds of the pccard driver : with or without
pcmcia-cs installed; i only tested the second version and don't know if
it is possible to integrate both as the pcmcia-cs version is compiled by
that package and the kernel version is compiled with hostap distrib. :-?
Do they both install in the same directory, with the same name??
- i had to make a new patch for pcmcia-cs-3.2.4 as the one shipped
with the hostap sources was for 3.1.34; this patch is needed during
build process if CONFIG_PCCMCIA-CS=y and is applied against pcmcia-cs
package; how to integrate it cleanly in the hostap files (for ex during
make unpack), before the build process is launched ?
- make some useful documentation (which comes with the tarball) to
copy in DL's doc dir (make install does nothing about it)
- write a mini howto about configuring a wireless card with that
driver on DL
- it seems some optionnal tools (sniffer, daemon, ...) are provided
with the driver and are not compiled with the main Makefile; i had to
evaluate their use to integrate them in the process.
I hope releasing something very soon as i'll be very busy next week .
Any comments are welcome ;-)
Regards
