There is a central problem of multiple 802.11 stacks that I very much want to avoid. linux-wlan-ng, HostAP, madwifi, and one or two others. I had hoped that HostAP would be submitted, and that could form the basis of a common 802.11 stack, but I haven't heard anything about that in many weeks.

It will be.. WPA2 distracted me from this preparation, but I will try to get back to cleaning up the Host AP driver for 2.6. Actually, I might consider submitting it first without CCMP (AES-counter with CBC-MAC), because that is the part that is likely to take most time to convert for crypto API and this can be easily added separately. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
