Create sysfs "device" files for hostap
I was writing some scripts to automatically build kismet source lines,
and I noticed that hostap devices don't have device files, unlike my
prism54 and ipw2200 cards:
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/eth0/device
/sys/class/net/eth0/device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/wifi0
ls: /sys/class/net/wifi0/device: No such file or directory
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/wlan0
ls: /sys/class/net/wlan0/device: No such file or directory
The following (quite small) patch makes sure that both the wlan and wifi
net devices have that pointer to the bus device.
This way, I can do things like
for i in /sys/class/net/*; do
if ! [ -e $i/device/drive ]; then
continue;
fi;
driver=$(basename $(readlink $i/device/driver))
case $driver in
hostap*)
echo -- hostap,$i,$i-$driver
break;
ipw2?00)
echo -- $driver,$i,$i-$driver
break;
prism54)
echo prism54g,$i
esac
done
Which should generate a working set of source lines for kismet no matter
what order I plug the cards in.
It might also be handy to have a link between the two net devices, but
that's a patch for another day.
That patch is against 2.6.13-rc1-mm1.

README ------ This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...). This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never 100% satisfactory. Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs, you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of Wireless Tools to be configured : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html Special notes for distribution maintainers : 1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs 2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts Have fun...
