http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7399 zd1211rw's support for IW_FREQ_AUTO is broken: when specified, the driver tries to change to a channel specified in an uninitialized integer. As IW_FREQ_AUTO is hard to implement properly, the solution (at least for now) is to drop support for it and start ignoring the flags like all other wireless drivers do. This has the added advantage that kismet also starts working with zd1211rw, even though kismet requesting IW_FREQ_AUTO is also a bug (fixed in their svn) Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

README ------ This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...). This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never 100% satisfactory. Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of Wireless Tools to be configured : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html Special notes for distribution maintainers : 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts Have fun...
