adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol utility to manipulate some of the card parameters. This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross). The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.) Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.13 1998/09/13 09:38:34 markm Exp $ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel and the contents of /etc. Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
