I'm connected using a no-name Realtek card with Philips RF section as
I type this e-mail. Yay!
I seem to have the basic functions working. There are some warts:
scanning is too slow, w/ 1 second between channels: I will it
to 100-200ms
I'm reinitializing the card on packet filter changes
the multicast filter is always set to a "sieve"
There are some missing features:
no WEP
no ad hoc mode
no AP mode
no rate adaptation
Works ok with an unprotected AP, though.
I will test with Maxim RF, first, fix the warts, get WEP running, then
ad hoc mode, and finally AP mode. Finally, I may prototype a new rate
adaptation, codename ettadapt, on rtw.
I'd better go to bed before Santa comes down the chimney and shoots me
with his death-ray.
