Changelog for ndiswrapper-1.9-1.x86_64.rpm :
Fri Feb 10 21:00:00 2006 - joe_morrisAATTntm.org
- updated to 1.9

Thu Feb 2 21:00:00 2006 - jgAATTsuse.de
- converted to Kernel Module Package

Tue Jan 24 21:00:00 2006 - mlsAATTsuse.de
- converted neededforbuild to BuildRequires

Sun Jan 22 21:00:00 2006 - jgAATTsuse.de
- update to version 1.8, changes:

* Issue with WEP with wpa_supplicant fixed (keys must be saved
and restored).

* Support for newer kernels added.

* Crash when removing ndiswrapper module with certain Windows
drivers fixed.

Sun Jan 1 21:00:00 2006 - jgAATTsuse.de
- Fixed Makefile.in (usb module was missing)

Wed Dec 21 21:00:00 2005 - jgAATTsuse.de
- update to version 1.7, changes:

* Drivers and driver files are dynamically loaded and unloaded as
and when necessary; this should save memory.

* Support for Highmem with USB devices added.

* Bulk and interrupt URBs were being mixed up in earlier releases
- this issue is fixed.

* Crashes due to \'divide by zero\' error in update_wireless_stats fixed.

* Support for Atheros USB drivers, including RangeMAX MIMO, added.

* Suspend and resume support improved; USB devices should now be
able to suspend and resume.

Mon Nov 7 21:00:00 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.

Wed Oct 26 22:00:00 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.

* Support for new kernels added.

* Many bug fixes.

* Added support for Inprocomm IPN2220 with 64-bit.

* Added support for RNDIS USB devices (tested with U.S. Robotics
USR5420).

* Issue with unloading module with some drirvers (e.g., sis and
Inprocomm ipn2220) fixed.

* Issue with WPA with sis162u, sis163u and ZyDas zd1211 fixed.

Sun Jul 17 22:00:00 2005 - jgAATTsuse.de
- update to version 1.2, changes:

* Support for NX (no-execute) bit

* 64-bit Broadcom driver works with HIGHMEM.

* Implemented I/O manager layer.

* Many bug fixes

Thu Mar 10 21:00:00 2005 - jgAATTsuse.de
- enabled building on x86_64

Sun Mar 6 21:00:00 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.

Thu Feb 10 21:00:00 2005 - jgAATTsuse.de
- added missing object file in Makefile

Sun Feb 6 21:00:00 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

Wed Dec 15 21:00:00 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

Thu Oct 21 22:00:00 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)
