[Wirelessdriver-devel] hello list

hello list,

i have been able to checkout the sources for WirelessDriver2.kext.
i was even able to compile the targets, and, after a few dirty
modifications, it gave me an en2 interface when inserting my XI-300
prism2 pccard.


now, i am aware that there is much to be done with the src in order
to use a prism2 card to connect to a wlan, and even more to set one up.
however, my goals are a lot lower than that: i only need to be able to
set the card in monitor mode and use ethereal to read the raw 802.11b
frames, NAV  and all. like hostap-driver does under linux/i386.

however, setting any diagnostic mode results in an error. sendCommand
complains and tells me an error status of 0x7F00. i have not read the
intersil manual fully yet, so i am not sure what that means.

so my questions would be:
a] does anyone actually read this list and is interested in having
    an opensource prism2 driver for darwin?
b] has anyone done anything more with the source which isnt in the
    repository?
c] is it actually possible and as easy as i think to set the pccard
    into monitor mode and just pass the 802.11b frames on to raw
    socket interface which ethereal uses? so that i can read the raw
    frames from the air? any thoughts?


thnx/ cheers,
/folkert saathoff
