RE: WiFi spotter JNI updated: msg#00027

Subject: RE: WiFi spotter JNI updated
I've checked in a Pocket PC driver which should work with all
(NDISUIO-capable) WiFi drivers, and in particular has been verified to
work with the Dell Axim X30 (with built-in wifi) and iPAQ h1940 with
Sandisk SD WiFi card.  Jeff perhaps you can add this information to the
HCL?

This driver does NOT look at the interface name passed to
spotter_init().  This is because I don't think that is useful - there is
no built-in "ifconfig" equivalent that will tell you the magic string to
use.  If somebody needs to be able to specify this, then I can add it in
future; alternatively, the Readme.txt in that directory now has a decent
HOWTO for building the driver so you can do it yourself :)
