Call for testers

In time with Haiku's first alpha release I'm looking for people willing to put some time into testing the WLAN-Stack. So, if you are interested read on...

First of all: Only atheros based WLAN cards are supported at the moment. So most netbooks are covered by that. A comprehensive list of supported devices is maintained by the FreeBSD project: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/8/share/man/man4/ath_hal.4?view=markup

What to expect of the WLAN-Stack:

  • auto connect to an unsecured (open) WLAN
  • wlan device will appear as an ethernet card
  • full support of Haiku's network configuration utilities (Network preflet, ifconfig)
  • no WLAN specific configuration utility (neither GUI, nor CLI)
  • no listing of available WLANs
