[ from advogato, entry #24 ]

It works! My from-scratch driver for the [censored] wireless LAN chipset has passed several major milestones today. The card delivers interrupts, handles firmware downloads, and can handle all (documented) commands. Now for the rest of the initialization sequence, including setting up the rest of the bits necessary to handle tx/rx queues and whatnot.

Unfortunately, the embedded uCLinux platform that's targeted doesn't quite work. The card doesn't seem to show up where it's supposed to; but once we finish with the schematics and whatnot then we should be able to find out what's going on. This sort of thing is _not_ what we were supposed to have to worry about.

Don't you just love it when the documentation is flat-out wrong?.
