3. NEW IN THIS RELEASE
3.1 Version 6.28 Winter 2001
NOTE: THIS VERSION OF THE DRIVER REQUIRES THE STATION
FUNCTIONS FIRMWARE TO BE VERSION 6.04 (OR HIGHER).
It is not compatible with older versions.
* Added functionality for enabling/disabling radio from the
Client Manager
* Putting 'ANY' in a peer-to-peer profile gives a apropriate warning.
* Profiles can now be selected trough the keyboard.
3.2 Version 6.14 June 2000
NOTE: THIS VERSION OF THE DRIVER REQUIRES THE STATION
FUNCTIONS FIRMWARE TO BE VERSION 6.04 (OR HIGHER).
It is not compatible with older versions.
* ORiNOCO name change.
* New control panel (Card Settings program).
* Configuration profiles are qualified for network type:
- Access Point (WavePOINT-II or other party 802.11 AP).
- Residential Gateway (RG-1000).
- Peer-to-Peer Group (IEEE 802.11 IBSS; network without AP).
This causes further configuration screens (tabs) to be
adapted accordingly.
* The "Ad-Hoc Demo Mode" can no longer be selected through
the Card Settings program. This to avoid confusion with
the Peer-to-Peer Group (IBSS) mode, and to discourage the
use of this non-interoperable mode of operation. For special
applications (e.g. research, or compatibility with other /
previous WaveLAN/IEEE products), it can still be configured
by editing the Registry.
* The "Advanced" tab has been split into an "Advanced" tab
and an "Admin" tab, to more clearly indicate that this
information is to be provided by the network administrator.
These tab-screens have been reworded, and check-boxes have
been replaced by radio-buttons.
