Hello,
I am very new to IXDP425 and eCos. As a part of my college project, I
am supposed to connect a wi-fi lan card to a IXDP425 processor using
the PCI slot.
However I have identified some issues that need to be addressed first.
1. I have realised that the TCP/IP stack in eCos is a port of the
FreeBSD stack. So, I will have to use FreeBSD wlan drivers instead of
linux drivers, which I earlier had in my mind.
2. Also, since 802.11 has its own protocol stack which goes between
the TCP/IP and the hardware driver, I will need to port this stack
also.
3. Since eCos's port of the FreeBSD stack is quite old, I will also
need to update the TCP/IP port.
Being quite new at these things, I am not able to figure out how to proceed.
Please give me some suggestions or references from where I can get
some information which might help me.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
ROHIT
