Atrens, hehe. And it's WPA that's new, not WEP. :) > gotten it to work without panicing (thanks Simon!) on HEAD. Oh nice! I recently fixed wi(4) to work with it. And there's also a couple of small mbuf leaks fixes you'll want. :) They have to do with receiving and losing 'I'm saving power, don't drop my association' packets sent by laptops in power save mode. Simple fixes, missed converting a couple of the queueing macros that were manipulating the interface's if_snd queue. > > You can get the diff from: > > http://www.labthug.com/DragonFly/802_11-HEAD.2006-02-02.diff > > I will post a note to users asking for testers.

Also, there are three rate "devices" I've got iwi/ipw built now, and have applied the wi fixes to them, but have no way to test these.

Yah, each rate control module does the same job as the others, hence you can only use one of them at a time. > > Thanks, Very Cool! Congrats! I've also got changes to allow use of the next-gen hal, mostly because I just put a Senao EMP-8602 in my laptop (yes, I know, overkill, hehe), although the driver+hal it's not stable enough for production just yet - you can read all about it in the FreeBSD-current list.. ;) Andrew. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD5LU78It2CaCdeMwRAnkcAJ93pm13hfek0iMMLmif0zSnbD1NdgCdGycg SgctTJs0w0mwg7zRi93H7ks= =XgOX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
