Haiku gains USB wireless support |
|
The Haiku team have published a status report for the development work going into their BeOS-inspired operating system. The project has made some strides forward in terms of ARM support and hardware drivers. One of the important talking points is support for USB-attached wireless networking cards. "That's right, after many years of being requested, Haiku finally has support for USB WiFi devices! (Currently only Realtek controllers are supported, but Ralink and others should follow before too long; Realtek/“RTL” chips are generally the most common, however.) waddlesplash had started experimenting with these as early as 2018, but ran into problems in the USB stack (and also confusion about how FreeBSD's USB APIs mapped on to Haiku's.) Now, after having stabilized the XHCI (USB3) support and made Haiku's USB stack more robust, it was time to have a look at this again; and now it has been completed and merged into the nightlies (but not before it uncovered a few last bugs in Haiku's USB subsystems.)" The activity report has further details. |
