[Wirelessdriver-devel] Decision on releasing a build...

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

OK...

I've giving it a bit of thought and I think this will help to 
keep everyone happy with some small compromises.  I want to 
release the code as it stands right now without the network 
search code as beta 3 and then start work on getting the code 
reorganized and cleaned up for beta 4.

If I add the network search code to the driver as is, it'll 
likely be limited to the Lucent Silver cards for now, and don't 
want to make the code any more product specific.  The other 
option is to name this release as 3A and then to a 3B release 
with search code for specific cards at some point shortly down 
the road, but before the code rewrite is complete.

So... for the next revision, I'm aiming for:
	1) Isolation of all of the 802.11 code from the 
vendor-specific hardware code
		** This is the biggest and most important change that 
needs to be made.

	2) Automatic detection of networks

	3) Clean removal and re-insertion of the card.
		There may still be issues with interface naming, but at 
least you wont crash anymore

	4) Better behaviour during sleep.

I'll make this new installer available to the members of this 
list later on today, unless anybody's got any major objections.  
Once I've had a few of you verify that it works OK, I'll release 
it to the public witht he appropriate announcements.
