Hi everyone, rtwn(4), urtwn(4) and urtwm (from previous emails) drivers were merged into a single rtwn driver (plus rtwn_usb / rtwn_pci device glue); the code is available on https://github.com/s3erios/rtwn repository. Among bugfixes / code deduplication, there some new features too: 1) multi-vap support (one any wireless interface + one STA interface + any number of monitor mode interfaces). 2) few new sysctls: * dev.rtwn.#.crypto - controls how to use hardware crypto acceleration * dev.rtwn.#.ratectl_selected * dev.rtwn.#.ratectl - selects current 'rate control' algorithm (currently only 'none' and 'net80211' are supported; RTL8192CE needs testing with the last). 3) (incomplete) power management support for RTL8188EU (requires firmware). 4) Short Guard Interval support. It's known to work with RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU; however, it was never tested with RTL8192CE or RTL8812AU. How-to-build: 1) download / checkout the repository. 2) apply 'patch-usbdevs.diff' against '/usr/src' 3) build and install rtwn module: cd $repository/sys/modules/rtwn && make && make install 4) build and install rtwn_usb/rtwn_pci: cd ../rtwn_usb && make && make install cd ../rtwn_pci && make && make install 5) unload previous && load current drivers: kldunload if_urtwn if_rtwn kldload /boot/modules/if_rtwn.ko /boot/modules/if_rtwn_usb.ko /boot/modules/if_rtwn_pci.ko 6) Use.
