1 | First of all, the best thing would be that this driver becomes obsolte by |
2 | adding support for Hermes II and Hermes II.5 cards to the existing orinoco | |
3 | driver. The orinoco driver currently only supports Hermes I based cards. | |
25985edc | 4 | Since this will not happen by magic and has not happened until now this |
a6f95b6e HG |
5 | driver provides a stop-gap solution for these type of cards. |
6 | ||
7 | Having said that, the following wishlist comes to mind to make the driver | |
8 | suitable as fully supported kernel driver. Feel free to expand/enhance the | |
9 | list. | |

11 | TODO: | |
12 | - verify against a Hermes II.5 card | |
13 | - verify with WPA encription (both with H2 and H2.5 cards) | |
14 | - sometimes the card does not initialize correctly, retry mechanisms | |
15 | are build in to catch most cases but not all | |
16 | - once the driver runs it is very stable, but I have the impression | |
17 | some the crittical sections take to long | |
18 | - the driver is split into a Hermes II and a Hermes II.5 part, it | |
19 | would be nice to handle both with one module instead of two | |
20 | - review by the wireless developer community | |
25985edc | 21 | - verify the code against the coding standards for a proper linux |
a6f95b6e HG |
22 | driver |
23 | - resolve license issues (?) | |
24 | ||
25 | DONE: | |
26 | - verified against a Hermes II card (Thomson Speedtouch 110 PCMCIA | |
27 | card) | |
28 | - verified with WEP encription | |

30 | Please send any patches or complaints about this driver to Greg | |
31 | Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com> and Cc: Henk de Groot <pe1dnn@amsat.org> | |
32 | Don't bother the upstream wireless kernel developers about it, they | |
33 | want nothing to do with it. |
