Re: [Wirelessdriver-devel] building WirelessDriver

[Rob M. <ro...@ma...>]

I just checked the CVS and I didn't see IOKit.framework there - 
it might have gotten added as part of the header caching during 
the build process.  As of 10.1, you shouldn't need the 
~/Library/Headers anymore, though, as long as the 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Headers/IOKit/pccard 
directory is populated correctly.

The ~/Library/Headers folder was required when we were using a 
pre-release copy of IOPCCardFamily, as we needed to override the 
version that comes with Kernel.framework.  It's unlikely we'd 
need to do this again, as the PCCard support is basically 
complete.  If Apple changes something for a future version, then 
we'll need to do this again, temporarily, as we adapt.

I got bombarded with crap this afternoon, so the update get 
pushed back a day or so.  I'll keep you posted.  Some things 
that will be committed to CVS at that time:	1. Multicast 
support fixed.  This is likely the problem with AppleTalk and 
some games.
	2. IORegistry support much improved.  You can now use the 
registry to get signal strength and other feedback
	3. The UserClient gets a big boost.  This is still work in progress.

..I'll get to power control next revision.
