This patch series enables WPA on Agere based orinoco devices.
Patchset overview
1-2: General scanning updates
3-9: Agere firmware download to RAM
10-12: Update orinoco to work with new firmware
13-19: WPA functionality
This patchset is against wireless-testing (master-2008-07-16), is
sparse clean (UP), and should be bisectable. It is almost checkpatch
clean - the single warning looks like a false positive to me.
Are we satisfied w/ this patch series? If so, could I ask Dave to
repost them as a single series (rather than having to randomly replace
some of them) in the middle?
I believe I have addressed all the issues that I can. The main outstanding one is why Pavel was seeing issues on his 64 bit kernel/64 bit userspace setup.
I will repost the full series shortly.
To use WPA, you will need an Agere firmware image. You can get the
necessary file at
<http://marc.info/?l=orinoco-devel&m=121078835610877>, just extract
and rename orinoco.fw to agere_sta_fw.bin and place it in
/lib/firmware (or distro equivalent). Alternatively you can try
extract firmware from a Windows driver using the program in
<http://marc.info/?l=orinoco-devel&m=120846933719051>.
Is the above documented anywhere other than this email thread?
At the moment this is only documented in email threads (on orinoco-devel) - I lack access to any web/file hosting to put something more permanent up. This obviously ought to be corrected.
Regards,
Dave.
