writing to mac,bbp or rf registers not supported?

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Hi Ronak,

Is the write operation to the MAC, BBP or RF registers supported?

Apparently it does not work, since the written values are not retained:

-bash-3.1# /home/marcelo/wlanconfig eth0 rdmac 0x0
Driver build with Wireless Extension 21
MAC[0x0000] = 0x0033fa05
-bash-3.1# /home/marcelo/wlanconfig eth0 wrmac 0x0 0xffffffff
Driver build with Wireless Extension 21
Writing[ 2255.598546] 00  MAC Register 0x01 0000 with 0xffff00 ffff
00 00 ff ff ff ff
MAC[0x0000] = 0xffffffff
-bash-3.1# /home/marcelo/wlanconfig eth0 rdmac 0x0
Driver build with Wireless Extension 21
MAC[0x0000] = 0x0033fa05

Any clues are appreciated.
