First of all, the best thing would be that this driver becomes obsolte by
|
||||
adding support for Hermes II and Hermes II.5 cards to the existing orinoco
|
||||
driver. The orinoco driver currently only supports Hermes I based cards.
|
||||
Since this will not happen by magic and has not happend until now this
|
||||
driver provides a stop-gap solution for these type of cards.
|
||||
|
||||
Having said that, the following wishlist comes to mind to make the driver
|
||||
suitable as fully supported kernel driver. Feel free to expand/enhance the
|
||||
list.
|
||||
|
||||
TODO:
|
||||
- verify against a Hermes II.5 card
|
||||
- verify with WPA encription (both with H2 and H2.5 cards)
|
||||
- sometimes the card does not initialize correctly, retry mechanisms
|
||||
are build in to catch most cases but not all
|
||||
- once the driver runs it is very stable, but I have the impression
|
||||
some the crittical sections take to long
|
||||
- the driver is split into a Hermes II and a Hermes II.5 part, it
|
||||
would be nice to handle both with one module instead of two
|
||||
- review by the wireless developer community
|
||||
- verify the code against the coding standards for a propper linux
|
||||
driver
|
||||
- resolve license issues (?)
|
||||
|
||||
DONE:
|
||||
- verified against a Hermes II card (Thomson Speedtouch 110 PCMCIA
|
||||
card)
|
||||
- verified with WEP encription
|
||||
|
||||
Please send any patches or complaints about this driver to Greg

|
||||
Don't bother the upstream wireless kernel developers about it, they
|
||||
want nothing to do with it.
