Hi,

After about a month of spare time work I have finally come to a point of 
releasing some software. I have written a driver for the Atmel AT76c503 
Wireless LAN adapters. At this moment the driver is capable of sending / 
receiving in Ad Hoc mode only. If you happen to own one of these adapters, 
please give the driver a try and let me know what you think of it.
(This is my first real kernel driver, so please kick it gently :)

You can find the driver here :

Release 0.1 file overview :

Or grab the tarball imediately :

At this moment I have a problem with the driver. After uploading the firmware 
to the device, the device needs to be resetted. I have the reset-code 
working, but after the reset the device changes it's descriptors and some 
kernel buffers/pointers have to be updated with the device. I don't know 
enough about the usb kernel internals to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
That's why I have attached the reset code to this email. If someone could tell 
me what I'm doing wrong I would be very thankfull.

grtz,
Daan
