hey folks-- i finally got the guruplug i ordered from globalscale technologies. It ships with debian lenny plus a special kernel, which is nice. I'm curious about what's not quite in debian yet, though: * there appears to be a special driver (uap8xxx.ko) for the "micro access point" -- the ability to run the wireless device in access point mode. > 0 moo:~# modinfo /root/uap8xxx.ko > filename: /root/uap8xxx.ko > license: GPL > version: 26146 > author: Marvell International Ltd. > description: M-UAP Driver > srcversion: D1A65BE4BDACD8EF8515A34 > alias: sdio:c*v02DFd9104* > depends: > vermagic: 2.6.32-00007-g56678ec preempt mod_unload ARMv5 > parm: helper_name:Helper name (charp) > parm: fw_name:Firmware name (charp) > 0 moo:~# * there is a corresponding userspace utility /usr/bin/uaputl, which enables setting of certain features of that driver. > > 0 moo:~# /usr/bin/uaputl --help > uaputl.exe - uAP utility ver 1.12 > Usage: > uaputl.exe [options] <command> [command parameters] > Options: > --help Display help > -v Display version > -i <interface> > -d <debug_level=0|1|2> > Commands: > sys_config Set/get uAP's profile > sys_info Display system info > sys_reset Reset uAP > bss_start Start the BSS > bss_stop Stop the BSS > sta_deauth Deauth client > sta_list Display list of clients > sys_cfg_ap_mac_address Set/get uAP mac address > sys_cfg_ssid Set/get uAP ssid > sys_cfg_beacon_period Set/get uAP beacon period > sys_cfg_dtim_period Set/get uAP dtim period > sys_cfg_channel Set/get uAP radio channel > sys_cfg_scan_channels Set/get uAP radio channel list > sys_cfg_rates Set/get uAP rates > sys_cfg_rates_ext Set/get uAP rates (extended) > sys_cfg_tx_power Set/get uAP tx power > sys_cfg_bcast_ssid_ctl Set/get uAP broadcast ssid > sys_cfg_preamble_ctl Get uAP preamble > sys_cfg_antenna_ctl Set/get uAP tx/rx antenna > sys_cfg_rts_threshold Set/get uAP rts threshold > sys_cfg_frag_threshold Set/get uAP frag threshold > sys_cfg_radio_ctl Set/get uAP radio on/off > sys_cfg_tx_data_rate Set/get uAP tx rate > sys_cfg_mcbc_data_rate Set/get uAP MCBC rate > sys_cfg_rsn_replay_prot Set/get RSN replay protection > sys_cfg_pkt_fwd_ctl Set/get uAP packet forwarding > sys_cfg_sta_ageout_timer Set/get station ageout timer > sys_cfg_auth Set/get uAP authentication mode > sys_cfg_protocol Set/get uAP security protocol > sys_cfg_wep_key Set/get uAP wep key > sys_cfg_cipher Set/get uAP WPA/WPA cipher > sys_cfg_wpa_passphrase Set/get uAP WPA or WPA2 passphrase > sys_cfg_group_rekey_timer Set/get uAP group re-key time > sys_cfg_max_sta_num Set/get uAP max station number > sys_cfg_retry_limit Set/get uAP retry limit number > sys_cfg_custom_ie Set/get custom IE configuration > sta_filter_table Set/get uAP mac filter > regrdwr Read/Write register command > memaccess Read/Write to a memory address command > rdeeprom Read EEPROM > cfg_data Get/Set configuration file from/to firmware > sys_debug Set/Get debug parameter > sys_cfg_80211d Set/Get 802.11D info > uap_stats Get uAP stats > powermode Set/get uAP power mode > coex_config Set/get uAP BT coex configuration > > For more information on the usage of each command use: > uaputl.exe <command> --help > 0 moo:~# I haven't sorted out the source for either of these things, but i found links referring to maybe-source of the kernel module at least here: > http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=1648.0 Any thoughts on whether this uap business might make it into debian?
