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.
4 Since this will not happen by magic and has not happened until now this
5 driver provides a stop-gap solution for these type of cards.
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
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
21 - verify the code against the coding standards for a proper linux
23 - resolve license issues (?)
26 - verified against a Hermes II card (Thomson Speedtouch 110 PCMCIA
28 - verified with WEP encription
30 Please send any patches or complaints about this driver to Greg
32 Don't bother the upstream wireless kernel developers about it, they
33 want nothing to do with it.
