Currently I try to create a driver for RL8188EU chip for Illumos. As template serves the RTWN driver of freeBSD . The starting base is the URTWN driver for RTL8192CU for Solaris from http://freenicdrivers.la.coocan.jp . The driver works so far that WiFi scan and the registration to an AP works. I see data packages arriving on the interface. However, no data package go outside, so that no IP connecting can be built up. It is strange to me that communication with the AP works, but not to other stations. I suspect that the problem lies in the configuration of the TX descriptor. However, I lack the knowledge of the meaning of the individual bits. Is there a developer documentation for the TRL8188E chip public available? It s possible to check if the firmware can not interpret the TX descriptor properly? When comparing the descriptor with FreeBSD, different settings are noticed in DWORD5 (OFFSET 20) (data rate, RTS rate). Can these be the cause of not sending the data packet? The current state of my work is avail at: https://github.com/cgrzemba/illumos-gate/tree/15014-urtwn-8188-3 I would be very happy if you could help me. Kind regards -- Carsten Grzemba
