1.1rc1 is available on sourceforge. Short summary of changes since 1.0: * Don't use spinlocks unless CONFIG_SMP or CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is enabled. * Don't reset Centrino cards during initialization as this seems to turns off radio. * 2.4 kernels don't have hashing, so provide wrapper macros for hashing. * Set the active/transmit key index as given, instead of assuming 1 always. This fixes authentication with Cisco routers. This should also fix WEP issues when active key used on the router is at index > 1. * NdisAcquire(Dpr)SpinLock obtains the lock at DISPATCH_LEVEL instead of PASSIVE_LEVEL. This fixes PREEMPT and SMP issues with some drivers. * Issue with Prism54 driver sometimes crashing kernel when scanning fixed. Giri |

Forgot to mention the following in ChangeLog: * Added private ioctl to set the network type to a specific type. Use "iwpriv wlan0 network_type <char>" to set the network type to what <char> represents, where <char> is one of a, b, g or any other characther. For example, to set to 802.11b, use "iwpriv wlan0 network_type b", and to set to auto, "iwpriv wlan0 network_type x". Note that you don't usually need to set the type to b/g. NDIS specifies that the driver should set the type to "auto", which will pick up any network type. However, it may help to set the type of cards that support all three types (abg cards) to either a or b/g. Network type should be set before associating. Giri |

I can confirm that this release seems to have fixed the problems with my 3com 3crwe254g72 crashing after a couple of hours and/or during large transfers. cheers, Phil -- http://www.kantaka.co.uk/ .oOo. public key: http://www.kantaka.co.uk/gpg.txt |

Will try next wpa as soon as the hostap web come back on. Great!! Thanks, Romano -- Romano Giannetti - Univ.

I spoke too early. Sometime 1.1rc1 could not find APs during the scan (iwlist wlan0 scan) while the daily snapshot from 1feb works great. Happens just sometimes, but when it happens is reproducible. How can I help to debug this? -- Romano Giannetti - Univ. Pontificia Comillas (Madrid, Spain) Electronic Engineer - phone +34 915 422 800 ext 2416 fax +34 915 596 569 |
