Anyone feel free to edit: > http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/802.11 I am confused. There is http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/softmac-snapshot.tar.bz2 at http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/SoftMAC, page also says "Projects using this layer: * Broadcom 43xx driver" but Broadcom driver page at ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/bcm43xx/snapshots/softmac/ has ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/bcm43xx/snapshots/softmac/ieee80211softmac-20060107.tar.bz2 which is not the same. For example, ieee80211softmac.h file exists in both tarballs but is not identical. Suppose one wants to use softmac in a project. What tarball contains the bleeding edge of softmac? > I'll move that content to the netdev wiki if anyone else thinks it would > be a good way forward to start with requirements, API issues and > similar. > > Until we get there, we'll fix up softmac to make it usable for most > people in basic station mode without any kind of virtual devices, which > will need some slight changes to the current ieee80211. -- vda
