Add device driver support for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA 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. 1999-05-05 07:37:11 +00:00			`PROG= wicontrol`

Update the WaveLAN/IEEE driver: - Convert to new bus attachment scheme. Thanks to Blaz Zupan for doing the initial work here. One thing I changed was to have the attach and detach routines work like the PCI drivers, which means that in theory you should be able to load and unload the driver like the PCI NIC drivers, however the pccard support for this hasn't settled down yet so it doesn't quite work. Once the pccard work is done, I'll have to revisit this. - Add device wi0 to PCCARD. If we're lucky, people should be able to install via their WaveLAN cards now. - Add support for signal strength caching. The wicontrol utility has also been updated to allow zeroing and displaying the signal strength cache. - Add a /sys/modules/wi directory and fix a Makefile to builf if_wi.ko. Currently this module is only built for the i386 platform, though once the pccard stuff is done it should be able to work on the alpha too. (Theoretically you should be able to plug one of the WaveLAN/IEEE ISA cards into an alpha with an ISA slot, but we'll see how that turns out. - Update LINT to use only device wi0. There is no true ISA version of the WaveLAN/IEEE so we'll never use an ISA attachment. - Update files.i386 so that if_wi is dependent on card. 1999-11-25 20:45:49 +00:00			`CFLAGS+= -Wall -DWICACHE`
