About
The uEagle driver supports USB ADSL modems based on the Analog Devices® Eagle® chipset under FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
It is distributed under the BSD License.
The driver has only been tested with the Sagem F@st 800™ and the Comtrend CT-350™ USB ADSL modems but it should also work with any modem based on the Eagle chipset.

My OHCI patch has been incorporated in FreeBSD-CURRENT. It will probably be merged into 5.3-STABLE soon. This patch aims at fixing a bug in isochronous pipes for OHCI controllers.

Version 1.1 of KEagle is available for download. It is compatible with uEagle 1.5 and requires KDE 3.2 or later. It adds a "News" tab to help you stay up to date with uEagle releases. This section is now also available as an RSS feed (you can add it to your list of active bookmarks with Firefox 1.0).

I've just released uEagle 1.5 for FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. It uses the latest DSP code from Analog Devices. The driver now installs properly under NetBSD and OpenBSD. Note that I've decided to drop support for FreeBSD 4.x and uEagle 2.0. As I'm very busy with other projects (ipw, iwi and upcoming rtw), I will only release fixes for existing bugs in the future. I do not plan to add new features to the uEagle driver.

A pre-release version of uEagle 1.4 is available for download. It runs and compiles under FreeBSD-CURRENT and NetBSD-CURRENT. A lot of things have been merged from uEagle 2.0. It is no longer necessary to send the firmware with eaglectl. The driver is now compiled as a module under NetBSD-CURRENT.

A pre-release version of uEagle 2.0 is available for download. Note that it is a very unstable version. It is made available for test purpose only. It runs and compiles under FreeBSD-CURRENT only and has only been tested in IPoA mode. It is no longer necessary to recompile the kernel (the modem is shown as an ethernet interface) and dhclient is working (IPoA mode).

I'm pleased to announce the release of a FreeBSD driver for the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 802.11b network adapter. Visit the IPW main page for more information. Of course, this doesn't mean that the development of the uEagle driver will not continue! I have many plans to make it evolve (support of PPPoE, enhancement of KEagle ...). Do not hesitate to post your suggestions onto the forum!

A new tool called bnm2dsp will make its appearance in the uEagle 1.1 release! This tool allows you to translate a set of .bnm files (from the MS Windows driver) into a unique .dsp file usable with the uEagle driver. The bnm2dsp tool has been used to produce the files eagle.dsp and usr.dsp distributed with the driver.
December 11, 2003
The uEagle driver works under OpenBSD 3.4! Many people were waiting for it ... now it's here! Support will be part of uEagle 1.1 which will be released on December 15 along with many other cool features!

A problem that was affecting mozilla (more precisely the gecko engine) has been fixed. You can get a detailed description of the problem and its solution on the forum. Thanks to all of you who reported the problem! The workaround will be integrated in the next release of the driver.
October 9, 2003
OHCI controllers are finally fully supported under FreeBSD 5.1 with a patch!
I would like to thank all the people who reported the problem and who helped me testing all my experimental patches! Thanks for your contribution!
Special thanks to:
QuiRK, Michael Nasiadka, Christian Hoffmann,
François Heaulmé, Phil, ... and to all the people I forgot in this non-exhaustive list!

Version 1.0 of the uEagle driver is now available for
download!
The code has reached a good level of stability and maturity. This is the first stable release.
It includes some new features (such as a -r option to eaglectl for resetting the modem) and it has improved upload performances.

I'm pleased to announce the first release of the uEagle driver!
This is the product of a long time work. My first motivation was not to make
the modem run under FreeBSD but to learn more about the FreeBSD kernel. Many
cutting-edge features still in development in the FreeBSD kernel are used in
this driver (isochronous USB pipes, ATM stack ...)
