Teletronics wlan 200mW card supported under 5.x?

2006-10-16 Thread Gordon Pedersen
Has anyone got the Teletronics XI-325HP 200mW PRISM 2.5-based PCMCIA card
to work under freebsd 5.4, which I currently run?  or 6.x?

The Teletronics XI-325HP 200mW PRISM 2.5-based PCMCIA card is
high on my list of possible cards with external antenna jacks to buy.

Older reports say they had to flash firmware back to 1.5.6 on
the card to get it working under Freebsd 4.x.  Current firmware
as sold now appears to be 1.8.4 or higher.  Seems like a big
jump backwards to take.

Thanks.

Thats a rebranded zcom card, should have RP-MMCX antenna connector. It
depend what you want to do with the card?, IIRC secondary firmware
1.8.4 / primary 1.1.1 doesn't support hostap mode... IIRC you'll have
to reflash it with secondary 1.7.4 ~ 1.4.9 (I forget which is best) to
get hostap mode working. I have all the firmware, utilites, and docs
if you need them. Secondary firmware 1.7.4 and up supports WPA and
1.3.7 and up supports Prism 3 chipsets. I forget which firmwares
supports 802.11d but I know 1.8.4 does. I think I have the secondary
firmware changelog up to 1.4.9, primary firmware changelog up to 1.1.0
and a 2003 version of the driver programmers manual.

Yes, has RP-MMCX exposed after you remove the internal antenna
piece, according to my info.

I want to use it in laptop as client, not as AP.  I like it due
to good sensitivity vs cost.

 ... Secondary firmware 1.7.4 and up supports WPA and

Would want WPA, wonder if 1.7.4 will work under freebsd 6.x?

 ... forget which firmwares

So I wonder where 802.11d is needed?  For instance, anywhere in
Europe or Latin America or China?
