Introduction
the *bsd source-mods provided in bsd-airtools modify the wi driver to provide procframe support, wavelan and prism2 scan mode support for netstumbler-like scanning with dstumbler, and also debug mode support for prism2 cards so that dweputils, prism2ctl, and prism2dump work properly. to patch your system's source code, you will first need to obtain source for your OS. information on how to do this (cvs, ftp, etc) is usually provided on your OS's website.
Installation
once you've obtained your system's source, you will want to apply the patches. to do so, you can do it using the provided script:
NOTE: if you are patching using previously patched source (bsd-airtools v0.1d and lower), please remove the previous patches by either hand copying the .orig files to their original filenames, unpatching, or by obtaining original copies via cvs/cvsup/ftp/etc.
$ sudo ./install.sh
now you will need to configure and recompile your kernel. make sure you include wi support in your kernel. if you have problems getting your wi card to run under freebsd beforehand, please consult the freebsd-mobile list, since many people have reported problems.
Uninstallation
one feature that's new to v0.2 is the ability to uninstall the source-mods using the uninstall.sh script. this will be used in the future to easily upgrade to newer source-mod versions.
$ sudo ./uninstall.sh
