Hi all,
Is anybody actively developing this driver?
I don't think so!
Thanks go out to Damien (merci bcp) who kicked it all of but had some
issues with the people if I read correctly.
Although it's never too late to ask whether he has made any other
improvements or is maybe willing to help develop it further.
At least there are people Using it as opposed to develop it, so we can
test it!
I use the wpi driver in the following way:
kldload if_wpi load wpa_supplicant and connect to my WPA encrypted
network and voilà we're online.
I never had to load the wpi_ucode module for the firmware, if I do so it
tells me it can't find the firmware!
It throws quite a lot of 702 errors at me, especially when there is
heavy traffic load!
Also I am currently in Berlin at the CCC (events.ccc.de) and the WiFi
traffic is quite heavy and I don't get a packet out to the world (I can
sniff the traffic) but obtaining a dhcp-lease or any other active
communication is impossible.
also when I try to unload the driver it wouldn't unload.
So I did repeatedly:
kldunload if_wpi
kldunload if_wpi
kldunload if_wpi
kldunload if_wpi
kldunload if_wpi
and by the fifth time the kernel crashes with a page fault, now I don't
know whether that is a Kernel issue or a driver issue, who handles
unload requests?
I guess putting Gavin's work online/somewhere would be a good first step
in pursuing this issue.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your time and let's do something about the
development of this driver!
cheers,
Steve
