Rice Monarch Project WaveLAN Device Driver

WaveLAN Driver for FreeBSD 2.2.7

Version 1.2 of our WaveLAN driver for FreeBSD is now available.

Notable changes:

Based directly on FreeBSD's PCCARD support. PAO is not required and has not been tested with this code.
Added support for WaveLAN-I 2.4 GHz card
Fixed a bug in the roaming code that would sometimes cause the card to hang.

This code is available by ftp as a gzip'ed tar file:

WaveLAN Driver for FreeBSD 2.2.2

The Rice Monarch Project is proud to announce the availability of our WaveLAN network interface device driver for FreeBSD 2.2.2. This driver supports the 900 MHz WaveLAN PCMCIA PC Card and includes full support for the WaveLAN Roaming Protocol. It is based upon PAO-970616, a PCMCIA package provided by Tatsumi Hosokawa.

This code is available by ftp as a gzip'ed tar file:

Notes

This driver supports only the WaveLAN-I product. It does not support the new WaveLAN-II product that uses the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. There no FreeBSD drivers currently available for the WaveLAN-II that we know of. We do not currently have anyone here assigned to write one, and so cannot provide any timeline for when we might provide one.
