I want to get hostap-deamon working for madwifi (on the IOMega NAS100d,
and D-Link DSMG-600 RevA).
Currently, it does not support madwifi, and the current madwifi-ng
recipe is putting the include files in a place other than the place that
hostapd looks for them during the compile. Also, hostapd has an
RDEPENDS on hostapd-modules, which does not make sense for madwifi.
I'd like to change madwifi-ng to put the files in the right place, and
then change hostap-daemon to enable madwifi support and use those
include files. Are there any other known packages that use madwifi
include files that may be affected?
I can either enable this globally, or enable it for the slugos distro
only, or enable it for ixp4xx machines only. Which should I do?
Here is the madwifi-ng.inc patch:
> do_stage() {
> - install -d ${STAGING_INCDIR}/${PN}/include
> - install -d ${STAGING_INCDIR}/${PN}/net80211
> - cp --dereference include/compat.h ${STAGING_INCDIR}/${PN}/include/
> - cp --dereference net80211/*.h ${STAGING_INCDIR}/${PN}/net80211/
> + install -d ${STAGING_INCDIR}/net80211
> + cp --dereference include/compat.h ${STAGING_INCDIR}/net80211/
> + cp --dereference net80211/*.h ${STAGING_INCDIR}/net80211/
> }
Here is the hostap-daemon.inc patch (example using a _ixp4xx override):
> -RDEPENDS = "hostap-modules hostap-utils (${PV})"
> +RDEPENDS = "hostap-utils (${PV})"
> +DEPENDS_append_ixp4xx = " madwifi-ng"
>
> +do_configure_ixp4xx() {
> + sed -e 's/\#CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y/CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y/' \
> + '${WORKDIR}/defconfig' >>'${S}/.config'
> +}
If there are no responses, I will continue with the madwifi-ng change as
above, and do the override for all _ixp4xx machines.
