/etc CHANGES: - /etc/drivers.conf has been renamed to /etc/system.conf. Every entry in the file is now marked as "service" rather than driver. - user "service" has been added to password file /etc/passwd. - docs/UPDATING updated accordingly, as well as every other mention to the old drivers.conf in the system. RS CHANGES: - No more distinction between servers and drivers. - RS_START has been renamed to RS_UP and the old legacy RS_UP and RS_UP_COPY dropped. - RS asks PCI to set / remove ACL entries only for services whose ACL properties have been set. This change eliminates unnecessary warnings. - Temporarily minimize the risk of potential races at boot time or when starting a new service. Upcoming changes will eliminate races completely. - General cleanup.

The driver has been tested on Minix 3.1.3, svn revision 2928:
|
|
http://derelict.cs.vu.nl/images/minix3_1_3_ide_r2928.iso.bz2
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the driver do:
|
|
#sh install_script
|
|
|
|
This script will patch, compile and install 2 code files in Minix:
|
|
/usr/src/services/rs/service.c
|
|
/usr/src/commands/dhcpd/devices.c
|
|
(see the docs directory for more information)
|
|
Furthermore, the script will patch 1 configuration file:
|
|
/etc/system.conf
|
|
(adding an entry for 'orinoco')
|
|
and 1 script file:
|
|
/usr/etc/rc
|
|
(adding an entry in a for-loop to start orinoco)
|
|
Finally, the script will copy the orinoco driver into the drivers directory,
|
|
compile and install it.
|
|
|
|
When the script completes successfully, the inet.conf file has to be adjusted
|
|
so that Minix will use the orinoco driver. Add an entry like:
|
|
|
|
eth0 orinoco 0 {default;};
|
|
|
|
The last step is to set the essid and WEP key of the network in the boot
|
|
monitor. When in the boot monitor, type:
|
|
essid=<essid>
|
|
wep=<WEP key>
|
|
save
|
|
|
|
The essid is the name of the wireless network
|
|
The WEP key is a string of 13 ASCII characters, being the key of the wireless
|
|
network. This variable shouldn't be set when the network is not WEP protected.
|
|
If the essid is not set, the card will just try connect a network quite at random
|
|
|
|
N.B.: WPA is not supported
|
|
N.B.: WEP seems to be buggy. At my place it works, at the VU it doesnt. So if
|
|
things don't work, try without WEP
