net-wireless/ipw3945{,d} needs your help

Post #1 of 4 (144 views)

As some of you may know, I'm the sole (well, seemant is supposed to help
too :P) maintainer of the above package. The problem with it is simply that
it's closed source (at least the regulatory daemon and the ucode).

The package itself is hopefully going away when iwl3945 is finally useable.
Until then, this package _still_ needs someone who is willing going to
maintain it. I already fixed most of the bugs in bugzilla, but it still needs
some more work.

I haven't had hardware in the first place, and only took it over from Hendrik
(brix). So unless someone steps up in the next week or so, this package is
going to get reassigned to maintainer-needed since I absolutely have _ZERO_
interest in maintaining it any longer.

Regards,

Christian

What do you mean finally usable?

I've been using iwl3945 on my laptop for close on 2 months, with no
issues in the last month. Let the ipw3945 die already.

Ditto, and I'm a retard when it comes to network stuff.
