      [PATCH] zd1211rw: Defer firmware load until first ifup · 74553aed
      Daniel Drake 提交于
      While playing with the firmware a while back, I discovered a way to
      access the device's entire address space before the firmware has been
      loaded.
      
      Previously we were loading the firmware early on (during probe) so that
      we could read the MAC address from the EEPROM and register a netdevice.
      Now that we can read the EEPROM without having firmware, we can defer
      firmware loading until later while still reading the MAC address early
      on.
      
      This has the advantage that zd1211rw can now be built into the kernel --
      previously if this was the case, zd1211rw would be loaded before the
      filesystem is available and firmware loading would fail.
      
      Firmware load and other device initialization operations now happen the
      first time the interface is brought up.
      
      Some architectural changes were needed: handling of the is_zd1211b flag
      was moved into the zd_usb structure, MAC address handling was obviously
      changed, and a preinit_hw stage was added (the order is now: init,
      preinit_hw, init_hw).

      [PATCH] zd1211rw: Detect more AL2230S radios · 4418583c
      Daniel Drake 提交于
      Zen Kato has a device which reports the 0xa RF type. The vendor driver
      treats this as AL2230S, the same as devices with the AL2230S bit in the POD.

      [PATCH] zd1211rw: Make CCK gain patching conditional on RF type · aaf83d4f
      Daniel Drake 提交于
      The vendor driver code suggests that CR47 patching happens on every channel
      change for every RF (depending on bit 8 in POD).
      
      Due to a bug in their driver (upper bits of RF_Mode get zeroed out, then
      are examined for 1s when setting some other flags), this isn't actually
      what happens, and their generic CCK patching routine never takes effect.
      
      Some of their RF configurations do include explicit (duplicated) code
      for CR47 patching though. This patch makes zd1211rw match that
      behaviour.

      [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driver · e85d0918
      Daniel Drake 提交于
      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, ...).
