The driver seems to work! My testing was very poor but definitely both transmission and reception worked. The strange thing is that I can't observe any light from the LED using a camera, with other dongles I can clearly see when something is being emitted. This may be the reason why I thought transmission was failing with my earlier libusb driver. However other devices clearly detected my computer in the network now. Other than the formatting I don't see anything wrong in the code. (Note that .rx_time is unused). I built the driver inside the kernel tree rather than with a separate makefile. Removing of the module also worked without any Oops. I haven't tried modifying it to see if FIR works but I'm convinced that it won't work. All of the KingSun dongles seem to falsely announce 4Mbps in specs. Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
