winbondport


Winbond Linux Driver with newer kernels

An attempt to port the driver of W89C35D (IS89C35D, aka. WinBond USB2WLAN) to newer kernels. Currently we plan to rewrite it in softmac from scratch, while Pavel is getting the old one better. One of the branches will hopefully work :)

If anybody got any technical specs for this chip which could help us writing this driver, please send it to us! Thank You!

About the license: The original source code from Koshinja does not contain a license file, nor does their website. The code however contains the MODULE_VERSION tag set to GPL, so it shall be GPL...

Don't forget to run iwpriv wlan0 set_region Europe if You are in Europe, default freqs are in USA standard!

Basic features tested on:

  • Koshinja F100 on Kernel 2.6.22.2-pixart-panda - Rxart Desktop - Pixart SRL (Debian Based)
  • Koshinja F100 with vanilla 2.6.24-rc8+ (VYE SA18).

Current developers:

  • Costantino Leandro
  • Ferenc Csicsova
  • Kasza Károly
  • Pavel Machek @ LKML

If you wanna join us, please send an email.

  • If anyone is using or testing this port, please use the issue tracker or mail us , reporting what worked or not, crashes, freezes, etc. That's the only way to make progress on this. Thank You!
