Request for merge into 9.x
Hello I was recently reading about your work on the Ralink 2860, I run an EEEPC 1000 at the moment and have always wanted to run freebsd on it; however due to the wireless not being supported and a hatred for hanging usb dongles handing everywhere; I had to run linux. I am no driver developer, but I would love to give your driver a trial run on 9.1-RELEASE or -STABLE if easier, I am quite sure once everyone with an eeepc realizes we finally have a working wifi card; they will be most impressed :) as an aside, if you could leave me some simplish instructions on howto actually generate the kernel module in 9.0/9.1 -RELEASE I would happily report how well it works -- paul ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Request for merge into 9.x
Have you tested 9-STABLE? I see there some 2860 bits- http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/sys/dev/ral/ There are some updates in head, they should go to -STABLE after a usual while (TM). FYI, current wifi development and discussion takes place in freebsd-wireless too. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Request-for-merge-into-9-x-tp5768802p5768897.html Sent from the freebsd-current mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Everything if done to ral(4) is in stable/9 and 9.1-release. So, if the card is affected by any of the changes it should be supported in 9.1-release. If not, it might just be a missing PCI ID. -- Bernhard ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
