First of all, the best thing would be that this driver becomes obsolte by | ||
adding support for Hermes II and Hermes II.5 cards to the existing orinoco | ||
driver. The orinoco driver currently only supports Hermes I based cards. | ||
Since this will not happen by magic and has not happend until now this | ||
driver provides a stop-gap solution for these type of cards. | ||
|
||
Having said that, the following wishlist comes to mind to make the driver | ||
suitable as fully supported kernel driver. Feel free to expand/enhance the | ||
list. | ||
|
||
TODO: | ||
- verify against a Hermes II.5 card | ||
- verify with WPA encription (both with H2 and H2.5 cards) | ||
- sometimes the card does not initialize correctly, retry mechanisms | ||
are build in to catch most cases but not all | ||
- once the driver runs it is very stable, but I have the impression | ||
some the crittical sections take to long | ||
- the driver is split into a Hermes II and a Hermes II.5 part, it | ||
would be nice to handle both with one module instead of two | ||
- review by the wireless developer community | ||
- verify the code against the coding standards for a propper linux | ||
driver | ||
- resolve license issues (?) | ||
|
||
DONE: | ||
- verified against a Hermes II card (Thomson Speedtouch 110 PCMCIA | ||
card) | ||
- verified with WEP encription | ||
|
||
Please send any patches or complaints about this driver to Greg | ||
Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com> and Cc: Henk de Groot <pe1dnn@amsat.org> | ||
Don't bother the upstream wireless kernel developers about it, they | ||
want nothing to do with it. |
