Changes:

- The PTP module has been partially rewritten. Memory problems should be no more & it is a little faster.

- The Mass storage module has also been rewritten (version 3.0.0 now). It is now faster & more stable.

- Many more fixes.

The bug tracker on the haiku-wifi project is closed now. Due to the integration of WiFi support into Haiku new bugs are now posted to dev.haiku-os.org.
More information about this topic here: http://www.haikuware.com/blog/wlan-stack-sum-up-on-going-and-future-work-html

Displays the minimum system information and information about the current track of the Cl-Amp.
The current package contains:
-driver for the LPT-port (AlienSoldier (Martin Caron))
-plugin for Cl-Amp to obtain information from the player (Claes Löfqvist)
-and My driver for LCD display

Finally, during the last few days of my vacation, I managed to get time to upload the Beezer source code base. There is still a lot of work, and since the code is several years old I'm not particularly happy with it (needs consistency changes, architectural dumbness in certain places etc.).

I still need to upload Docs, Installer and Pictures folder.

Anyway, I'm happy I've at least now open sourced Beezer. I've licensed it under BSD and hopefully the community can use Beezer as and how it requires. All I ask is, if you use my work or parts of it, please give credit for it :)

Tschuess!

Haiku's network stack is now correctly informed, when joining and leaving a WLAN.
This results in a more reliable behaviour under bad signal situations.
It should also fix previous IP assignment issues when using DHCP.

• prevent confusion between the old nightlies and the testing versions
• due to slow down in development there aren't anymore driver versions you could call a nightly :)

We are happy to announce support for Mercurial SCM.
The mercurial.osdrawer.net subdomain has been registered and the "Getting started" wiki page has been updated with instructions as the 'submit project' page on www.osdrawer.net, so if you need a Mercurial SCM repository for your project just choose it from the dropdown box.

The only glitch is that it seems our version of Redmine doesn't support Mercurial in the 'Repository' page, it bails out with the error 'The entry or revision was not found in the repository.'.

We're looking into it, but it's not a serious issue because Mercurial has a very nice Web interface, just point your browser at http://mercurial.osdrawer.net

To the Git users out there: we are working to get Git support ASAP, so stay tuned!

After restructuring the WLAN stack it is now possible to
- dynamically un/-reload the driver
- shutting WLAN completely down by using ifconfig /dev/net/atheros/0 down (reenabling might require a reboot, though)

Note: To reload the driver, it must be ensured that no program is using the driver. With issuing the command ifconfig /dev/net/atheros/0 down
you can enforce this.

Beezer's overall architecture and formal project proposal and design document is now available from the "Documents" section. I'll later upload the source TeX documents and makefiles needed to modify it.

The final source and binaries if any will be added in the coming weekend or the week after that.

This is the first version, where I was able to download the complete Haiku R1/alpha1 CD image with Bon Echo. So please when you already surfin' with the older drivers, go ahead and try the same. Feedback welcome, as always :-)

As there is currently no way for you to edit the Wiki page of working systems (http://dev.osdrawer.net/wiki/haiku-wifi/Working_system_configurations) please create a new Ticket with the Status Feedback and report your working system configuration.
