[Wirelessdriver-devel] Announce: 1st CVS commit of rewritten source base

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

At long last...

I've checked in the source base I've been working on for far too 
long now.  It's not totally complete, but should be a good start 
for anyone looking to work on the driver side of things.  It 
should also fix some of the stability issues that have plagued 
the last code base (in other words, I can't crash this one).

This is a complete rewrite of what was there before.  It still 
lacks transmit and receive capability and WEP hasn't been added 
yet, but it's much cleaner and much, much more Darwin-like.

The project has been divided into a few different sections:
	WirelessController
	WirelessInterface
		... not much done here yet, but this is where 802.11 
packet handling should reside

	IntersilDriver
		... core functionality for working with Intersil and 
Lucent/Orinoco PRISM chips

	IntersilPCCard
		... remaining functionality needed for PC Cards

	UserClient
	WirelessUserClient
		... designed to compile into a framework to ease the 
creation of user clients.

There's also a simple application in there to try and test the 
UserClient bits I've done.  For some reason, though, the 
UserClient isn't connecting properly.  I'll look into it, but 
I've got a few other things that take precedence.  If somebody 
wants to beat me to it, please feel free.


Enjoy!
