[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/
