Free beacon software for linux

This is a Linux driver for wireless LAN cards based on Intersils Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. The driver supports a so called Host AP mode, i.e., it takes care of IEEE 802.11 management functions in the host computer and acts as an access point.
This does not require any special firmware for the wireless LAN card. In addition to this, normal station operations in BSS (infrastructure) and in IBSS (ad hoc). Current version of the Host AP driver and tools supports WPA in AP (Authenticator) and client (Supplicant) modes.
Intersils station firmware for Prism2/2.5/3 chipset supports a so called Host AP mode in which the firmware takes care of time critical tasks like beacon sending and frame acknowledging, but leaves other management tasks to host computer driver.
Main features:
This driver implements basic functionality needed to initialize and configure Prism2/2.5/3-based cards, to send and receive frames, and to gather statistics. In addition, it includes an implementation of following IEEE 802.11 functions:
- authentication (and deauthentication).
- association (reassociation, and disassociation).
- data transmission between two wireless stations.
- power saving (PS) mode signaling and frame buffering for PS stations.
The driver has also various features for development debugging and for researching IEEE 802.11 environments like access to hardware configuration records, I/O registers, and frames with 802.11 headers.
Enhancements:
- fixed background scans (iwlist wlan0 scan) not to break data connection when in host_roaming 2 mode (e.g., when using wpa_supplicant)
- fixed beacon frame when moving from monitor mode to master mode (workaround for firmware bug that left IBSS IE in the Beacon frames)

TiVoBridge is a packet repeater for both the TiVo discovery beacon and Multicast DNS (used in ZeroConf, Bonjour, Rendevous, etc.) protocols. The project is intended as a way for TiVo boxes and other devices or programs that use either of those (normally single-subnet) protocols to see each other across routers in a complex local network.
A sample configuration is included for a two-router, three-subnet network, but the program is very flexible and can be made to work in a number of network configurations. TiVoBridge was developed under Linux, but the source code is fairly portable.
NOTE: While the program does what it is designed to do, it is not yet confirmed whether or not TiVo video transfers work across subnets with its assistance. If you can confirm this, then by all means let us know!
Usage: ./tivobridge [-c config_file] [-u username] [-f] [-v] [-h]
Enhancements:
- A network interface filter was added, and certain BSD compatibility fixes were made.
