From: Luis R. Rodriguez on 11 Mar 2010 20:30 Staging developers, if you would like to get your hands wet with some 802.11 work, there are some 802.11 drivers which need conversion to cfg80211. The list is here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/todo-list/cfg80211-conversion Takers are greatly appreciated.

Anyway, as I hoped for, it is not "kill in favor of orinoco" (which also has some support for Prism2, though not as good as hostap). > > -- > John W.

That's not going to happen, hostap + orinoco both work against fullmac chips, which can't send arbitrary packets and therefore no 802.11 management frames. -- http://www.holgerschurig.de -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
