Fixes for Big-Endian Systems

inglorion — Tue, 28 Sep 2004 14:41:26 -0000

This patch adds some byte-order conversions, and
removes one. Using this patch, I was able to use the
Sweex LC100020 with an iBook (running Linux 2.6.7).

Note that I have only modified the USB code as it's the
only part I can test. Also, I couldn't test actual data
transfer due to restrictions on the WLAN I tested with.

Hi,

I've updated the patch against the new wlan-ng
pre-release. There is some new fixes and even some
things that were already fixed in zdsta-1.0.4...

Anyway, I've tested the patches both on 2.4.26 and
2.6.5 and they both get to the same point as the other
merge. So debugging is still needed!

I don't have a patch for the usb.c in 2.6.x yet. Some
people are discussing about it in the forums. I got
around this patch because one of my sweex usb cards
does not require the usb.c patch:-)

Kind regards,
Dennis Bijwaard

merge with wlan-ng 0.2.1pre20

All,

I've merged the zydas 1.0.4 driver which is based on
wlan-ng version 0.2.0. It is not fully operational yet:-(
I hope someone can help me out, I have compared debug
logs and code but cannot find the problem (already
fixed a number of them).

I've the following issues:
- I get to the point that I can see with iwconfig wlan0
that the driver is loaded and it shows the default with
1Mb/s and ESSID=WLAN2. When I try my adhoc script that
worked in 1.0.4 (which I've included in
etc/wlan/adhoc.conf), for some reason the wireless
extenstions are gone:-(
- I've tried with and without hotplug, it does not make
much difference.

Weird things:
- the initialization line is different from 1.0.4:
was: hfa384x_cmd_initialize: cmdresp.init:
status=0x8000, resp0=0xcd92, resp1=0x7e08, resp2=0xd336
new: hfa384x_cmd_initialize: cmdresp.init:
status=0x0000, resp0=0x0000, resp1=0xffff, resp2=0xffff

rest of initialization seems to be equal to 1.0.4
(compared with debug=5 for prism2_usb driver) until the
driver is cleamed. Then the 1.0.4 does a ifstate which
my new merged driver does not do:-(
