| 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. |
