| April 5, 2005 | Rawether for Windows V5.5.18.03 Released | ||||||||||||||||||
|
The primary purpose of this release is to provide support for the RTM build of Windows x64 Edition (AMD64) platforms. The release also includes some fixes and improvements specific to the Rawether .NET C# applications and class libraries. With this release the base Rawether for Windows Win32 product provides a uniform 'C' and C++ application programming interface across these platforms:
The companion Rawether .NET product supports managed .NET 1.1 applications (Samples are C#...) across these platforms:
The Rawether runtime components support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications on Windows x64 Edition (AMD64). |
| October 22, 2004 | Rawether .NET Finishes Beta Testing |
|
Rawether .NET is a .NET Framework API written in C# that provides a uniform interface between user-mode applications and PCAUSA NDIS drivers. Basically, it is a C# version of the current Rawether for Windows 'C' API - but greatly extended. Rawether .NET provides a rich, consistent NDIS user-mode .NET Framework API across the Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 platforms.Beta testing uncovered one "real" bug in some overloads of the .NET SetInformation method. Based on feedback some additional 802.11 classes were added to simplify setting WEP and WPA keys. In addition, this release includes a new C# forms-based application in addition to the console application provided with the initial Beta. The C# NDIScope application includes a simple packet capture dialog intended to illustrate that Rawether .NET does include a practical .NET packet collection interface. The packet collection dialog us (very) loosely modeled after the well-known TcpDump utility. |

| April 14, 2004 | Rawether V5.03.16.58 Released |
|
Interim bug fix release for bug introduced in
V5.03.16.57. The flaw was in kernel-mode string parsing code used to
extract ServiceName from the RegistryPath in DriverEntry routine. This bug has the effect of causing the creation of a bogus driver ServiceName and SymbolicLink name under some conditions. On some systems running WLANDetect the first time would succeed. However, running WLANDetect a second time would fail. Since it was a string-related bug there could have been other unpredictable problems as well.
