So we have a page for this now: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/otus Init you can find a list of devices. Let me just paste what we have there now: Dlink * DWA-160A1 Netgear * WNDA3100 * WN111v2 TP-Link * TL-WN821N AVM * FRITZ!WLAN N USB Stick (USB ID 0x57c, 0x8401) > I'll go try to get this tree into a buildable state and put it into > staging tonight. Thanks! BTW if you add a kconfig option for it please point users with this info: This driver requires its own supplicant driver for wpa_supplicant 0.4.8. For your convenience you can find the tarball here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/otus/wpa_supplicant-0.4.8_otus.tar.bz2 Before compiling wpa_supplicant, ensure your .config has atleast the following CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXTENSION=y CONFIG_EAP_WSC=y CONFIG_WSC_IE=y CONFIG_DRIVER_WEXT=y CONFIG_DRIVER_OTUS=y After a successful compile, you can use the device with wpa_supplicant as follows: wpa_supplicant -Dotus -i <atheros device from ifconfig> -c /path/to/wpa_supplicant.conf -d Luis -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
