Some more info I found to help document a WPA roadmap:
The open source part of the Agere driver distributed as
wl_lkm_718_release.tar.gz
includes WPA-PSK support (Hermes-I firmware 9.48) This is the last
open source release by Agere for Hermes-I. It seems WPA-PSK
for Hermes-I arrived with the previous firmware 9.42.
(does this correspond to "firmver >= 0x90002a" (FIRMWARE_TYPE_AGERE) ?)
(The Apple airport in my IGHz Ti powerbook has Hermes-I firmware 9.52 with the
full
WPA2 "personal" and "enterprise" implemented)
Looks like the Agere "open-source" (with accompanying binary HCF code) driver
can be useful
for seeing how to add WPA-PSK support to orinoco. It is licensed with the
(revised)
BSD-Style license (no advertising clause), so maybe its even OK to copy stuff
from it if
that helps (?).
Too bad there is nothing later with open source WPA2..., but WPA-PSK would be a
good start.
Is this comment I found elsewhere also correct?
