IPWireless P1C

2005/10/21 Version 0.4 released The archive : ipw-0.4.tar.gz

  • open() sequence changed to toggle DTR/RTS. Seems to help to get the AT command parser back to a sane state. This should help for when the modem goes "roaming" between towers, and forgets about the AT interface.
  • Added support for the modem's "passthru" console device. More info on this later.

  • Updated for kernel 2.6.11
