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

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

Rob,

I've finally found out how to do the ioctl stuff with IONetworkInterface and
I'm in the middle of working on some modifications with WirelessDriver to
add support for bsd-airtools. I've made a bunch of modifications to the
driver and there aren't any compilation problems that I can find, but when
the kernel tries to load the modified driver when I insert the card, it is
unable to load it. I was wondering if you could provide me with any tips or
shortcuts on debugging what might be causing this problem, and if there's
any new source that I should work with, since it seems you're in the middle
of doing a lot of work on the project.

Also, I want to know how people feel about incorporating wicontrol/wiconfig
into the distribution, that uses the standard ioctl interface for card
configuration (I will need to at least partially port this over for basic
bsd-airtools support). Any thoughts?

Any help/insight is much appreciated.

Thanks,
-h1kari
