[Ndiswrapper-general] Proxim Symphony USB

[chunkeey <chu...@we...>]

Hello I've problems getting my  Wirelesslan USB Thing working on linux.
(sorry for my choppy English...)

But first some specs:

Machine:
CPU: Dual Pentium III; RAM: 640 MB; mobo: MSI's MS6321 (Via 694x Chipset); 
USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 
16)

The not working thing: 

Proxim Symphony HomeRF II USB 
also know as: T-Sinus 930 Data or Siemens Gigaset H487
usbid: 08c4:1701


Drivers:
(Working Windows)
http://www.proxim.com/support/all/symphonyhomerf/software/download/shrf301en.zip 
(~6,3MB)
(obsolet, not working and  closed source linux driver. ( contains Proxim's 
code )) 
http://www.komacke.com/ftp/rl2isa-driver/rl2_driver.tgz
And also in the OpenBSD tree: a reverse engineered driver (but only for the 
very old rangelan pci cards) rln.c 

Tested on: (Debian Sid)
Try 1: vanilla 2.6.9 (no preempt, no smp, 8K stack, no regparm, ...)
Try 2: 2.6.10-rc1-ck1 (with preempt, smp, 4K stack, regparm, ...) 

tested ndiswrapper versions: 0.11 and current cvs.

1. Add some missing api calls in ndiswrapper: (diff)
RtlQueryRegistryValues, KeQueryPriorityThread, 
KeQueryTimeIncrement,  PoStartNextPowerIrp & PoCallDriver 
and a little modification in NdisMGetDeviceProperty

Please, check if they're correct... 

2. Driver loads.

Kernel 2.6.9: kernel locks instantly ... (even nothing on the serial console)
Kernel 2.6.10-rc1-ck1: it keeps going although it' very choppy. khubd (or 
sometimes loadndisdriver) eats all 100% of one cpu, the other still idle.
khubd or loadndisdriver is stuck in kernel-mode or better: it loops around in 
the 
"load_driver" (wrapper.c) functions.
