2008-01-28zd1211rw: port to mac80211Daniel Drake
This seems to be working smoothly now. Let's not hold back the mac80211 transition any further. This patch ports the existing driver from softmac to mac80211. Many thanks to everyone who helped out with the porting efforts. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2007-10-10[ZD1211RW]: Removed zd_util.c and zd_util.hUlrich Kunitz
The kernel now provides a generic hexdump implementation should we need it again, so we can remove it from zd1211rw. After removing that, only one single-user function is left in zd_util. Move that to zd_mac and remove zd_util. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Kunitz <kune@deine-taler.de> Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2007-07-08[PATCH] zd1211rw: Add UW2453 RF supportDaniel Drake
This patch adds support for another radio appearing in new devices: the Ubec UW2453. It's more complicated than the other RF's we support, but Ubec publish full tech specs so we're able to understand the vendor code relatively well. Now that we support UW2453, we also support Atheros' new USB chip: the AR5007UG. From the little info we have, this appears to be just a rebranded ZD1211B. This RF code doesn't work very well -- lots more TX/RX errors than the other RFs. However, the vendor driver doesn't do any better, so this is all we can do for now.

2006-08-14[PATCH] zd1211rw: Support AL7230B RFDaniel Drake
This patch adds support for another Airoha RF which is present in some ZD1211 adapters. This RF supports 802.11a as well as 802.11b/g, but 802.11a connectivity is not yet supported by this driver. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-07-05[PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driverDaniel Drake
There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS ZD1211 chip. Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed products which we will be supporting soon. Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision, but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them. This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw. ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have provided device specs. This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks! We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in 2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master mode, 802.11a, ...). Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
