* Mon Nov 12 2007 roAATTsuse.de- hack to compile with 2.6.24rc2 (using mandriva patchkit)
* Mon Nov 12 2007 roAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.49:
* If a driver returns invalid MAC address (00:00:00:00:00) when queried with OID_802_3_CURRENT_ADDRESS (probably because NdisReadNetworkAddress returns NDIS_STATUS_FAILURE?), use OID_802_3_PERMANENT_ADDRESS to get the correct address. This is required for some atheros devices (e.g., AR5007EG)
* Fixed a kernel crash with non-preempt kernels (observed with acx111 driver)
* Preemption, as required by Windows, has been reimplemented. With this, ndiswrapper works with RT-preempt and non-preempt kernels
* Dropped support for 2.4 kernels (and very old 2.6 kernels)
* Thu Oct 18 2007 roAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.48:
* Support for 2.6.23 kernel
* Disassocation with wpa_supplicant is fixed (earlier, after disassociation, the driver and ndiswrapper would be configured differently, requiring unloading and reloading of ndiswrapper module)
* (Re)Association / (Re)Authentication issues with wpa_supplicant with 2.6.23 kernels fixed
* Fixed an issue with 64-bit Broadcom drivers that cause ntos_wq worker thread to take up all the CPU in some cases

* Fixed random (occassional) crash issues with 64-bit drivers (observed with Broadcom driver)
* Fixed compilation issues with version 1.46
* Tue Jun 05 2007 roAATTsuse.de- updaet to version 1.46:
* Fixed crash with large transfers (bug in version 1.45)
* Fixes \'NOHZ: local_softirq_pending: 08\' warnings from tickless kernels
* Fixed issue(s) with RT-preempt enabled kernels
* Fixed ndiswrapper script to handle installation of Intel 4965AGN driver (which apparently works with ndiswrapper)
* Fixed a warning when SLUB allocator is used
* Fixed kernel crash with PsCreateSystemThread that manifested with sis163u when preempt is enabled
* Changing MAC address with \'ifconfig hw ether\' should work with all drivers now. If MAC address should be changed everytime ndiswrapper is loaded, change \'NetworkAddress\' setting, as explained in wiki entry \'Tips\' (earlier \'mac_address\' setting was used, but that no longer applies)
* Fixed an issue with some drivers (e.g., sis163u) that would stall after working for a while
* Fixed crashes when removing module with usb devices
* Fixed issues with Ubuntu kernels (where PREEMPT is not enabled)
* Issues with combination of DEBUG_PREEMPT and RT-preempt fixed
* Fixed issues with newer 64-bit Broadcom driver when more than 1GB RAM is present
* Added support for upcoming 2.6.22 kernels
* Fixed long standing memory allocation issues with some drivers, Atheros especially. With this fix, Atheros cards in Macbook with Core 2 Duo are known to work
* The above fix changes core architecture of ndiswrapper and improves memory allocation issues with all drivers, as well as executes mostly with bottom-half\'s enabled for better system response and performance. Many drivers have been tested to work with these changes; however, some drivers may have been broken
* Added support for Marvell Gigabit ethernet drivers (apparently in-kernel sky2 driver has some issues)
* Yet another smp fix
* Bug fix related to events (no driver seems to be affected by this)
* Fixed soft-lockup issue when multiple network devices are used
* Fixed a bug when unloading driver
* Fixed issues with recent RT-preempt patch
* The workaround for large memory allocations (needed by Atheros drivers) with 2.6.19+ kernels, introduced in version 1.33, causes soft-lockup with smp. This is now fixed.
* Wed Apr 04 2007 lruppAATTsuse.de- added module-init-tools to BuildRequires
* Mon Mar 26 2007 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.39:
* An smp issue is fixed
* When initializing a card that supports 802.11a and either 802.11g or b, set the mode to 802.11g or b, as 802.11a is far less common
* Added support for driver for Atheros device with PCI ID 168C:1014
* Fixed issue with initializing athfmwdl driver (for atheros USB cards)
* Fixed ndiswrapper script so it installs drivers for certain PCMCIA cards (which have bus type 8, instead of 5)
* Fixed ndiswrapper script (broken since 1.23 for sis163u driver)
* Implemented full scatter/gather lists (not tested)
* Implemented support for hardware tcp/ip checksumming (through NDIS)
* Fixed a bug with scatter/gather. With this rt61 from RaLink and VT6655 from VIA drivers transmit data. Other drivers that associated but didn\'t transmit data (e.g., RT8855, Airgo\'s Gen3 PCI with ID 17CB:0002) may also work.
* Wed Jan 17 2007 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.34:
* Provide workaround for large memory allocations in interrupt context with 2.6.19+ kernels. With this, atheros (and other?) drivers don\'t need kernel to be patched.
* Thu Jan 04 2007 roAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.33:
* Allow large memory allocations in older kernels; with 2.6.19 and newer kernels, vmalloc in atomic allocations is not allowed (see \'patches\' section on project page for workaround on these newer kernels).
* Added compatability with 2.6.20-rc1 kernel
* Fixed crash when changing MAC address (with \'ifconfig hw ether\')
* Fixed crash when names of other network device are changed (e.g., by udev)
* Fixed crashes with shutting down computer without unloading ndiswrapper module.
* Added support for Davicom 9601 USB ethernet device.
* Fixed ndiswrapper script to show correct device IDs.
* Yet another fix to ndiswrapper script (to handle file names with upper case extensions).
* Fixed ndiswrapper script to handle INF files properly.
* Added support for Atheros 5416 (802.11n) chipset.
* Windows drivers may request firmware to be loaded in either upper or lower case (either full name or partially). Instead of using given name, use installed name. This fixes firmware loading issue with Airgo networks driver.
* When compiling with 2.6.19-rc2 and possibly next rc(s), compile with \'make USE_OWN_WQ=1\'. Final 2.6.19 may not need this (hopefully).
* Bug fix to drivers that load binary firmware files (broken in 1.26). This fixes issues with Atheros and TI drivers.
* Atheros PCI driver requests more map registers for DMA than limit specified in NDIS. Instead of failing such invalid requests, continue.
* Removed debug flag in ndiswrapper script
* When HIGHMEM is enabled, allocate and copy URB buffers only if necessary. This prevents memory allocation failures.
* Tue Oct 31 2006 jgAATTsuse.de- removed debug parameter from perl invocation (bug 215609)
* Thu Oct 05 2006 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.25:
* Support for WE-21
* Bug fixes
* Devices are recognized when they are inserted, instead of registering when module is loaded. With this, new Windows drivers can be installed / updated without unloading ndiswrapper module, and any number of Windows drivers can be installed without overhead.
* Minor tweaks and optimizations
* Fixed issues with RT-Preempt patch
* 64-bit RT2500 USB driver works
* Mon Sep 18 2006 jgAATTsuse.de- Removed use of uninitialised variable (bug 184410)
* Fri Sep 01 2006 roAATTsuse.de- update Makefile.in to fix build on x86_64

* Added support for Broadcom 802.11n (draft) driver
* Added support for 64-bit Marvell driver
* Optimizations for 64-bit drivers
* If network interface name changes (through udev, ifrename etc), ndiswrapper notices it and changes entry in procfs
* Fix to a bug (in 1.20) that locked up when used with RT2500 with SMP.
* RT2500 is supported with 64-bit.
* Fixes to 64-bit drivers; TI 1450 (used in AVM Fritz) is supported with 64-bit.
* Fix to SMP kernel crash when USB device is unplugged.
* Calls to Miniport functions with serialized drivers (such as RT2500) are serialized, so they should work with SMP.
* Enable interrupts in IRQ handler; otherwise, some drivers (e.g., Marvell 8335) don\'t work.
* Kernel crash with changing mac address (with \'ifconfig hw ether ...\') fixed.
* Thu Jun 29 2006 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.18:
* Kernel crash with RT2500 (and possibly other serialized drivers) under heavy traffic load fixed.
* Support for RNDIS driver with Vista drivers for 64-bit added.
* netpoll support added; with this netconsole can be used with ndiswrapper.
* Suspend/resume improved
* Memory allocation tracking support added
* Proper fix for drivers (Atheros PCI and USB drivers) allocating large chunk of memory in atomic context.
* Fix for crash when module is removed with new Atheros USB driver, which supports WPA2 and has no firmware driver (athfmwdl).
* Memory leaks plugged.
* Plugging/unplugging/rmmod issues fixed; Marvell devices don\'t need to be unplugged before removing module.
* Added support for Xpeed X400 ADSL adapter.
* Only wireless devices will be registered as wireless devices to kernel; others (e.g., X400 ADSL) will be registered as network devices, by default, with wlan%d.
* Issues with multicasting fixed.
* Issues with ZyDas ZD1211 fixed (broken since 1.9 or so).
* Fixed memory corruption issues, discovered with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB.
* SMP issues fixed; Netgear WG111 USB (Prism54 chipset) works with SMP.
* Association to open networks (without encryption) is supported with \'wext\' driver interface with wpa_supplicant.
* Workaround is provided for Atheros driver so large block of memory allocated by this driver in atomic context succeed.
* Sis163 USB driver with version 1.11 failed to associate reliably. This is fixed.
* TI 1450 USB driver failed to initialize card if module is reloaded. This is fixed.
* WPA with TKIP with TI ACX100 driver now works with \'ap_scan=2\' in wpa_supplicant\'s configuration file. Driver for D-Link DWL-650+ has support for WPA with TKIP for this chipset.
* Added support for non-encrypted networks with wpa_supplicant.
* Am1772 with WPA and TKIP authenticates reliably now.
* Added support for WEP with wpa_supplicant through \'wext\' driver interface. There is no need for \'ndiswrapper\' interface with wpa_supplicant anymore.
* Added support for newer RNDIS (USB) cards (e.g., USR5421, F5D7051uk, WUSB54GSv2, all based on Broadcom chip). These support WPA2, whereas older RNDIS cards support only WPA.
* Kernel crash when removing USB cards fixed.
* Fixed performance issues with SMP.
* Added support for AMD Am1772.- removed obsolete wep_fix patch

* Tue Nov 08 2005 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.5, changes:
* SMP issues fixed.
* Zero-copy for sending packets implemented.
* If a device doesn\'t resume properly (from suspend), de-initialize device so it can be initialized later. This fixes issue with suspend/resume with Marvell driver.
* Issues with WUSB11v4 (Ali chipset) fixed.
* Rtl string functions have been reimplemented.
* Resume from suspend works with Marvell chipset 8335.
* Thu Oct 27 2005 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.4, changes:
* WPA2 support added.
* Implemented most of IO manager, PnP manager and Obj manager.
* No need to update utils everytime ndiswrapper is updated but only when utils interface changes.
* USB layer has been rewritten with many fixes; e.g., USB devices no longer disconnect unexpectedly.
* New devices supported: sis162, sis163, ZyDas 1211, Linksys WUSB11v4 (with Ali chipset). These are USB devices.
* Unplugging USB devices without removing ndiswrapper module supported.
* USB devices work with PREEMPT enabled.
* Separate workqueue is used in 2.6 kernels; this should prevent locking up keyboard etc. in case of kernel crash.

* Fri Mar 11 2005 jgAATTsuse.de- enabled building on x86_64
* Mon Mar 07 2005 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.1, changes:
* Yet another spinlock (re)implementation. We don\'t use Linux spinlocks to implement Windows spinlocks anymore - ndiswrapper implements new spinlock functions that use Windows spinlock variables directly.
* Use kmem_cache pools for MDL (aka NDIS_BUFFER) and NDIS_PACKET structures which are allocated often. This should reduce memory fragmentation.
* Use MDL functions when initializing ndis_packet while sending packets. This fixes crashes with Fedora kernels (and amd64 driver at least).
* Memory leak with 64-bit Broadcom driver fixed
* Crash when module is removed with Marvell driver fixed
* In some cases, a Windows driver loads successfully, but ndiswrapper concludes otherwise. This is fixed.
* Fri Feb 11 2005 jgAATTsuse.de- added missing object file in Makefile
* Mon Feb 07 2005 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 1.1rc1, changes:
* Don\'t use spinlocks unless CONFIG_SMP or CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK is enabled.
* Don\'t reset Centrino cards during initialization as this seems to turns off radio.
* Set the active/transmit key index as given, instead of assuming 1 always. This fixes authentication with Cisco routers. This should also fix WEP issues when active key used on the router is at index > 1.
* NdisAcquire(Dpr)SpinLock obtains the lock at DISPATCH_LEVEL instead of PASSIVE_LEVEL. This fixes PREEMPT and SMP issues with some drivers.
* Issue with Prism54 driver sometimes crashing kernel when scanning fixed.
* WavePlus 1200 chipset supported.
* Works with some vendor kernels that use different semantcis (from vanilla kernels) for PCI/USB register functions.
* Don\'t free memory allocated for \'devices\' twice (which was causing kernel crash) when device registration failed.
* Don\'t set infrastructure mode in wpa_associate, which clears the keys. With this, WEP should work again with wpa_supplicant.
* Fix (small) memory leak - free xmit_array when device is removed.
* Use spinlock when calling any miniport function. This may fix some SMP issues.
* Preliminary support for AMD64 (tested with Broadcom chipset)
* Dynamic loader support: A driver is loaded only when necessary, so even if many drivers are installed or if a driver installs many .conf files (e.g., Centrino), only drivers and device configurations necessary are loaded.
* Set RadioState used by Broadcom drivers to 0, instead of 1. This turns on radio (although name suggets the other way round).
* Sends multiple packets (if driver supports it) in each send operation for better efficiency
* Most of the functionality of loader is moved to userspace tool loadndisdriver so it is more robust
* Encryption info is restored during disassociation; this is useful if ad-hoc mode is used as psuedo master mode
* MAC address can be set in .conf files or changed at any
* Association and disassociation should happen quickly especially with wpa_supplicant
* Thu Dec 16 2004 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 0.12, changes:
* Works with Preempt and SMP kernels.
* WPA-RADIUS is supported.
* Compiles with kernels > 2.6.9 and swsuspend2
* USB cards are reset during initialization; they should work without having to reset explicitly
* Some crashes in USB, especially during initialization, are fixed.
* WEP key setting problems fixed.
* Check for 4K stack size during compilation and issue warning if necessary.
* Bug fixes
* Fri Oct 22 2004 jgAATTsuse.de- update to version 0.11, changes:
* Compilation issues with USB are fixed
* WPA issues fixed
* Older Prism USB devices supported
* Suspend/resume of devices with no power management (e.g., TI) fixed
* ndiswrapper script has an option \"-d\" to install drivers for a different device (if the chipset is same)
* ndiswrapper script lists USB devices and reports status of drivers with more understandable messages
* Lots of bug fixes and improvements- registering all devices with driver name \'ndiswrapper\', so ifup scripts have the possibility to recognize ndiswrapper- fixed sysfs links (device/driver links were missing)
* Tue Oct 05 2004 agruenAATTsuse.de- Add a README.SUSE.
