Dmitry Komissaroff has created a new version of the Bluetooth stack, with a version ready to test.  Among other changes, it’s now possible to use a cellphone via Bluetooth to establish a PPP connection. There are other caveats.
If you have a laptop with bleeding-edge DragonFly and an ExpressCard slot, please test it out, as Sepherosa Ziehau has made them supportable.
Aggelos Economopoulos has submitted a series of patches to bring pmctools into DragonFly; PMC stands for “Performance Measurement Counters”. Give them a whirl, as positive or negative feedback will get him to continue work.
Hasso Tepper has added some USB to serial drivers: uticom(4) for TI TUSB3410, moscom(4) for the MosChip Semiconductor MCS7703, and uchcom(4), for WinChipHead CH341/CH340. Dmitry Komissaroff contributed to the uticom(4) driver.
This recent “Puffy’s Marathon” article covering the OpenBSD 4.2 release, on OnLAMP.com, mentions that the new OpenBSD support for Broadcom AirForce/AirPort Extreme devices (bwi(4)) came from Sepherosa Ziehau’s work in DragonFly.
Dmitry Komissaroff has done his own port of the bluetooth stack from NetBSD to DragonFly; check his early version out if you have suggestions, as he’s still working on some of the devices involved.
Two smaller changes I’m mentioning together: YONETANI Tomokazu has brought in some ACPI resource manager updates from FreeBSD, and Sepherosa Ziehau has added jumbo buffer support to et(4), among other things.
Chris Turner posted some notes about hardware compatibility on AMD motherboards he’s used lately with DragonFly.
Sepherosa Ziehau has added support for ‘Agere ET1310 based Ethernet chips (PCIe only)’, with the new et(4) driver.
Aggelos Economopoulos is looking for opinions/compatibility stories on AMD hardware, as he’s shopping for a new system.
Hasso Tepper reports via #dragonflybsd his WinTec Pegasus ADD2 card works just fine under DragonFly. For those who are unfamiliar with this card, like me: it uses a PCI Express x16 slot to offer two additional DVI connections in addition to an existing Intel 915/945/965 chipset’s analog video output. Three video outputs, very cheaply.
Dmitry Komissaroff has ported the uticom driver from FreeBSD to DragonFly; it’s available at SourceForge and may get into the system too.
Hasso Tepper added a whole pile of uftdi(4) drivers. Why? Apparently it’s cheaper to buy from FTDI than it is to buy a vendor ID from usb.org.
Hasso Tepper has brought in extensive changes to agp(4), from FreeBSD. For a full list of the many new supported devices, puzzle through the man page diff.
Sepherosa Ziehau has made changes to the nfe(4) driver that, among other things, allow a card with that chipset to transmit data at full line rate.
Sepherosa Ziehau has added ‘in-progress’ support for a number of Broadcom networking chipsets. Check the commit message for features, credits, and so on. Thanks, Sephe!
How good is Sepherosa Ziehau? The bce(4) driver is broken with polling in FreeBSD, but he’s made the DragonFly version work just fine.
Broadcom NetXtreme II GigE network cards are now supported on DragonFly, thanks to an excellent interaction between developer, users, and Broadcom.
