Lines: 23 Message-ID: <50gduc$mgd@news.kwik.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: wireless.wdc.net X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] Hi All: Is anyone else actively working on a wavelan driver for FreeBSD? Do you have a Wavelan card and are you interrested in helping debug our device driver? We (buaas@wireless.wdc.net and I), have ported the bsdi driver for wavelan to FreeBSD and have it just barely working (as of tonite). There are still several serious bugs/problems with our port, but when we are done, it will be compileable into 2.2 and 2.1 (and hopefuly 2.1.5 - haven't tried yet). Until we judge and the FreeBSD kernel group judge our device driver "fit for addition to the kernel source tree", I'd like to assemble a list of beta testers to help us in the testing process. Please let me know if you are interrested. Thanks. Bernie Doehner bad@wireless.wdc.net P.S. The kernel source mods are minor - just one additional source file and a header file, plus one line in files.i386 and one in the kernel config file.
