HAL is completely reversed, and it appears to work quite good. I have
tested quite a lot using *cough* hardcoded solutions :-)
What the driver is missing is integration with ieee80211 API
from netdev tree, Wireless Extensions and I've recently added
empty ioctl function templates. Basically that's what is missing.
Nothing more, nothing less :-)
And regarding that ieee80211 API, I would be very excited if
anyone could explain the general overview of how new wireless
API works. I read the source but sometimes a quick answer from
experienced kernel coder would do more good.
kind regards
Mateusz
