ath3k hackery; doing it in userland

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

As part of general freebsd wireless hackery I've found a need to port
ath3k to freebsd.

Whilst doing it, I asked - why isn't this in userland? All it's doing
is pushing firmware in. It doesn't have to be in the kernel!

So, without further ado:

https://github.com/erikarn/ath3k

I'm using the libusb 1.0 API so it should be portable between OSes.

There's some interesting issues that have crept up - specifically, the
AR3012 resets after loading in the syscfg and thus doesn't take the
"set normal mode" and "change VID".

So, why's this in the kernel?
