Editing WLAN PS3 Jupiter Driver

[[Category:OtherOS]]
=Introduction=

* FreeBSD WLAN driver for PS3 Jupiter
* Ported from PS3 Jupiter Linux driver

=Building=

* You have to patch your FreeBSD 9.1 kernel with patch '''0530-ng_ubt-grab-only-bt-ifaces.patch'''. The patch was pushed upstream but for FreeBSD 9.1 it's already to late, on FreeBSD 9.2 you won't need the patch anymore.

cd /usr/devel

cd /home/glevand/ps3jupiter
make -f Makefile.jpt
ls -l jpt.ko
make -f Makefile.if_jsta

=Loading=

<pre>
sudo kldload ./jpt.ko

=Scanning=

* You don't need any extra tools to use WLAN on FreeBSD (unlike on Linux).
* And unlike on Linux, FreeBSD has a clean IOCTL interface for WLAN NICs.
