I figured it would be best to start by getting the various IEEE constants and structures into code, and then figure out how gPXE's 802.11 layer will look: text/html 2009-06-07T23:54:28-07:00 http://etherboot.org/wiki/soc/2009/oremanj/journal/week2?rev=1244444068&do=diff Joshua Oreman: 802.11 wireless development Journal Week 2 Monday, 1 June Banged out the rtl8180 driver today, based on the Linux code, and tweaked things that came up while doing it. * [drivers 802.11] Initial import Realtek 8180/8185 driver from Linux * [nvs] Add init function for Atmel 93C66 EEPROM * [802.11] Tweaks to API for clarity and practicality * [drivers rtl8180] First shot at an rtl8180/8185 driver * [drivers rtl8180] Fix the main rtl8180 driver filename It doesn't… text/html 2009-06-15T14:50:34-07:00 http://etherboot.org/wiki/soc/2009/oremanj/journal/week3?rev=1245102634&do=diff Joshua Oreman: 802.11 wireless development Journal Week 3 Monday, 8 June It's ALIIIIIVE! After a long day of head-scratching and bug-squashing, I've gotten the wireless to work in my test system with no apparent problems. :-) First, the commits: text/html 2009-06-21T21:00:04-07:00 http://etherboot.org/wiki/soc/2009/oremanj/journal/week4?rev=1245643204&do=diff Joshua Oreman: 802.11 wireless development Journal Week 4 Monday, 15 June Worked on a bunch of small things today. My video card didn't come until late in the day, so I was only able to do a little iSCSI testing, but what I found was revealing.

Trip was a lot of fun, but I'm glad to be back working on gPXE. I spent a bit of time today getting my code up to date with the changes that have been made on gPXE mainline while I was away. The effect of this is a new mainline-review branch with its three core pending wireless commits slightly modified, and a merge commit on the wireless branch. text/html 2009-08-01T11:50:48-07:00 http://etherboot.org/wiki/soc/2009/oremanj/journal/week10?rev=1249152648&do=diff Joshua Oreman: 802.11 wireless development Journal Week 10 Tuesday-Thursday, 28-30 July I've been working on getting the ath5k driver gPXEfied: * On branch ath5k: * [error] Add macro to test type of error returned from another file * [802.11] Expose net80211_duration() as useful to drivers * [rtl818x] Update rtl818x driver for API changes * [Makefile] Build ath5k driver * [ath5k] Further gPXEficiation * [802.11] Expand channel hw_value field to 16 bits * [ath5k]… text/html 2009-08-08T12:15:38-07:00 http://etherboot.org/wiki/soc/2009/oremanj/journal/week11?rev=1249758938&do=diff Joshua Oreman: 802.11 wireless development Journal Week 11 Monday, 3 August We have a mailing list regular who's interested in using gPXE on OS X. Since cross-gcc is very strict about printf specifiers, this led to several patches to fix compilation under both i386 and x86_64.

It's been a wonderful experience working with such talented developers, and I hope my coursework in the fall will leave me enough time to continue contributing
