Re: [Wirelessdriver-devel] status on driver and such

[h1kari <h1...@da...>]

I'm out of town, but I'll get you some registry dumps for my cards when I
get back to the office. Also, I was wondering if anyone on the list has
worked on implementing ioctl handlers for the drivers yet. I've briefly
tried messing with it, but to no avail.. For some reason the
IONetworkingFamily really likes to keep calling it's internal functions
instead of inheriting the ioctl functions (performCommand,
performGatedCommand, etc) in my derived function. I don't have much
experience with c++, so I might be doing something wrong.. Anyway, let me
know if you have done this, or are planning on doing this in the future (so
I can implement my airtools and generic wi config apps). Otherwise I'll keep
on digging and see if I can get it in. Also, what will the next significant
driver release include?

Thanks, and Happy Holidays !
