====================
wireless-next patches for v6.8

The first features pull request for v6.8. Not so big in number of
commits but we removed quite a few ancient drivers: libertas 16-bit
PCMCIA support, atmel, hostap, zd1201, orinoco, ray_cs, wl3501 and
rndis_wlan.

Major changes:

Raylink wireless LAN card

=========================



September 21, 1999



Copyright |copy| 1998  Corey Thomas (corey@world.std.com)



This file is the documentation for the Raylink Wireless LAN card driver for

Linux.  The Raylink wireless LAN card is a PCMCIA card which provides IEEE

802.11 compatible wireless network connectivity at 1 and 2 megabits/second.

See http://www.raytheon.com/micro/raylink/ for more information on the Raylink

card.  This driver is in early development and does have bugs.  See the known

bugs and limitations at the end of this document for more information.

This driver also works with WebGear's Aviator 2.4 and Aviator Pro

wireless LAN cards.



As of kernel 2.3.18, the ray_cs driver is part of the Linux kernel

source.  My web page for the development of ray_cs is at

http://web.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html

and I can be emailed at corey@world.std.com



The kernel driver is based on ray_cs-1.62.tgz



The driver at my web page is intended to be used as an add on to

David Hinds pcmcia package.  All the command line parameters are

available when compiled as a module.  When built into the kernel, only

the essid= string parameter is available via the kernel command line.

This will change after the method of sorting out parameters for all

the PCMCIA drivers is agreed upon.  If you must have a built in driver

with nondefault parameters, they can be edited in

/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/pcmcia/ray_cs.c.  Searching for module_param

will find them all.



Information on card services is available at:



	http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/





Card services user programs are still required for PCMCIA devices.

pcmcia-cs-3.1.1 or greater is required for the kernel version of

the driver.



Currently, ray_cs is not part of David Hinds card services package,

so the following magic is required.



At the end of the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file, add the line:

source ./ray_cs.opts

This will make card services read the ray_cs.opts file

when starting.  Create the file /etc/pcmcia/ray_cs.opts containing the

following::



  #### start of /etc/pcmcia/ray_cs.opts ###################

  # Configuration options for Raylink Wireless LAN PCMCIA card

  device "ray_cs"

    class "network" module "misc/ray_cs"



  card "RayLink PC Card WLAN Adapter"

    manfid 0x01a6, 0x0000

    bind "ray_cs"



  module "misc/ray_cs" opts ""

  #### end of /etc/pcmcia/ray_cs.opts #####################





To join an existing network with

different parameters, contact the network administrator for the

configuration information, and edit /etc/pcmcia/ray_cs.opts.

Add the parameters below between the empty quotes.



Parameters for ray_cs driver which may be specified in ray_cs.opts:



=============== =============== =============================================

bc              integer         0 = normal mode (802.11 timing),

				1 = slow down inter frame timing to allow

				operation with older breezecom access

				points.



beacon_period	integer         beacon period in Kilo-microseconds,



				legal values = must be integer multiple

				of hop dwell



				default = 256



country         integer         1 = USA (default),

				2 = Europe,

				3 = Japan,

				4 = Korea,

				5 = Spain,

				6 = France,

				7 = Israel,

				8 = Australia



essid		string		ESS ID - network name to join



				string with maximum length of 32 chars

				default value = "ADHOC_ESSID"



hop_dwell	integer         hop dwell time in Kilo-microseconds



				legal values = 16,32,64,128(default),256



irq_mask	integer         linux standard 16 bit value 1bit/IRQ



				lsb is IRQ 0, bit 1 is IRQ 1 etc.

				Used to restrict choice of IRQ's to use.

				Recommended method for controlling

				interrupts is in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts



net_type	integer		0 (default) = adhoc network,

				1 = infrastructure



phy_addr	string          string containing new MAC address in

				hex, must start with x eg

				x00008f123456



psm		integer         0 = continuously active,

				1 = power save mode (not useful yet)



pc_debug	integer		(0-5) larger values for more verbose

				logging.  Replaces ray_debug.



ray_debug	integer		Replaced with pc_debug



ray_mem_speed   integer         defaults to 500



sniffer         integer         0 = not sniffer (default),

				1 = sniffer which can be used to record all

				network traffic using tcpdump or similar,

				but no normal network use is allowed.



translate	integer		0 = no translation (encapsulate frames),

				1 = translation    (RFC1042/802.1)

=============== =============== =============================================



More on sniffer mode:



tcpdump does not understand 802.11 headers, so it can't

interpret the contents, but it can record to a file.  This is only

useful for debugging 802.11 lowlevel protocols that are not visible to

linux.  If you want to watch ftp xfers, or do similar things, you

don't need to use sniffer mode.  Also, some packet types are never

sent up by the card, so you will never see them (ack, rts, cts, probe

etc.)  There is a simple program (showcap) included in the ray_cs

package which parses the 802.11 headers.



Known Problems and missing features



	Does not work with non x86



	Does not work with SMP



	Support for defragmenting frames is not yet debugged, and in

	fact is known to not work.  I have never encountered a net set

	up to fragment, but still, it should be fixed.



	The ioctl support is incomplete.  The hardware address cannot be set

	using ifconfig yet.  If a different hardware address is needed, it may

	be set using the phy_addr parameter in ray_cs.opts.  This requires

	a card insertion to take effect.
