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= .=20 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.
