Subject: [PATCH 00/05] orinoco: Agere/Lucent firmware download
Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 22:09:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46E8557F.2080401@gmail.com> (raw)

Implements firmware download to RAM for Lucent-Agere firmware.
Firmware download is a requirement to implement WPA on these cards.

The patchset is against v2.6.23-rc5 from Linus' git tree. The complete
patch is available at <http://www.virtualsoup.org/files/orinoco_fw_dl.patch>

Programs to generate the necessary firmware are available at
<http://www.virtualsoup.org/files/orinoco_dump_fw.tar.bz2>. They
require either the wl_lkm_714/8 sources or a windows driver. See
README.dump_fw for more information.

The following firmwares download and run on my Dell TrueMobile 1150:
7.65, 8.10, 8.42, 8.58

The following firmwares download, but are not compatible with the
current orinoco_cs driver:
9.40, 9.42, 9.48

All my testing done on a pentium3 Dell C600. FW 9.48 download also
confirmed on a powerbook using a modified airport driver compiled
with a static copy of the firmware

An earlier version of this patch was posted to the orinoco-devel
list. This version has been cleaned up and updated for big endian
architectures.


Regards,

Dave Kilroy.
