* [PATCH] mwlwifi: Initial submission of wireless driver to mainline @ 2015-06-04 4:55 David Lin 2015-06-04 15:50 ` Ben Greear 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: David Lin @ 2015-06-04 4:55 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org; +Cc: Pete Hsieh, Chor Teck Law Hi all, Herewith, I am submitting the Linux driver for WRT1900AC. The work was initially developed as part of openwrt effort and maintained on https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi, thanks to the host where it is nurtured. Recently, I have also patched it to pass checkpatch.pl so that it can be qualified for mainline. This is still work in progress, with 8864 chipset more mature and tested, while 8897 for the similar use case is added recently. We will continue to maintain and enhance it. We hope the community will welcome this initial submission!

Driver matches most features in mac80211 and hostapd/supplicant. All basic securities mode have been validated. Yes, it will require firmware microcode. Matching "binary" is reprovided as a separate .bin file(s) for each chip. Source codes of chip-dependent microcode will not be provided.

Matching "binary" is reprovided as a separate .bin file(s) for each chip. Source codes of chip-dependent microcode will not be provided. Can it do multiple virtual stations (and other virtual device combinations)? With ath10k, for instance, there is a complex firmware between the host and the NIC hardware, so any bugs and limitations in the firmware make it almost impossible to add interesting features or fix bugs w/out being able to modify the firmware source. Any comments on how 'thick' the marvell firmware is?

However, this open source driver is not yet developed for many combinations, yet. It is hard to comment about "thickness" of the firmware :) All (most?) 802.11 mgmt packets are handled in host driver. Think of microcode as part of hardware or controlling/abstracting the hardware.
