Hi guys, i'm looking for someone to play around with "hidden" wireless setting in the hope to find out some new feature.
All you have to do is try tweaking the nvram parameters that are referred to wireless. Such parameters are identified by a name starting with "wl_" or "wl0_". Obviously all this work as to be done via command line.

The complete list of parameters can be obtained with

Code:

nvram show | grep "wl_"
nvram show | grep "wl0_"

First turn off wireless

Code:

wlcfg stop

Then change the parameters with:

Code:

nvram set wl_param=foobar

Finally turn on wireless:

Code:

wlcfg start

now thanks to johnatana a new cli is available to configure wireless...
There are a lot of parameters to tweak, so experiment it!

Quote:

Compiling cfg folder creates 2 tools. Init
and cli. Init initialize the wireless driver and wireless works for
the original driver doing this:
wlcfg stop
./init /usr/sbin/wpa_authenticator /lib/modules/2.4.17_mvl21-malta-
mips_fp_le/kernel/drivers/net/tiap.o wlan0 br0

Now you can run cli to configure and test everything. It rocks!

Unfortunately when I try to use my driver I get a segmentation fault.
I think it has to do with some compilation flags, maybe -fomit-frame-
pointer. I will keep trying to make it work.

For now I have uploaded the tools if somebody wants to experiment:
