Hi,
Now that I got away from IrDA, I've been taking care of my
todo list on the Wireless side.
The most critical feature is versionning. Since distributions
started shipping separate kernel header in /usr/include/linux, drivers
and tools can be out of sync (== core dump when reading iwrange). A
lot of user have been caught by that moving from 2.2.X to 2.4.X. This
patch provide a way to detect that and to fix the problem.
Also, I added a new extension (retry), and implemented it in
the orinoco_cs driver. However, it is not enabled in orinoco_cs
(has_retry=0) because we are in stable kernels ;-)
Would you mind adding that in the kernel ?
Thanks...
Jean
P.S. : A new version of Wireless Tools with all those goodies will be
soon on my web page...
