Greetings, We have put release of our alpha Mobile-IP code out at ftp://zymurgy.cs.pdx.edu/pub/mobility/mip.tar.gz along with a re-release of the wavelan drivers. The Mobile-IP release was done on FreeBSD 2.1R and includes kernel changes necessary for mobile-ip. We provide src and binaries for the routing daemons and utilities used with them. The Mobile-IP release is based on draft 15 which is included. We will be working on updating it to draft 17 over the summer. We based our release to some extent on ATT WaveLAN radio cards and the drivers plus some new config utilities are present in the code. (However our Mobile-IP should work with ethernet as well). The wavelan code is both IN mip.tar.gz and in a separate wavelan.tar.gz file. Drivers are included for the ISA wavelan card and for the PCMCIA card. There are some mods to the drivers that people may not have as there are some ioctls and other instrumentation that did not previously exist. Note: a possible patch by Matt Thomas for the wlp0 pcmcia driver and a major remunge by Jon Inouye for the 2.2SNAP/pcmcia socket support is not in there yet. There are two little utilities supplied that may be of interest. One can get/set the NWID at runtime (both wl and wlp). The other can read out signal strength and other related parameters (only wlp). The drivers supplied are compatible with 2.1R. Any communication on the subject should be sent to: mobileip@zymurgy.cs.pdx.edu The code can also be accessed on the web via: http://www.cs.pdx.edu/research/SMN regards, Jim Binkley jrb@cs.pdx.edu
