wireless softmac origin (net/ieee80211/softmac)

[Ian Brown]

Hello,
I am looking at 2.6.17-rc3 kernel.
 I wonder: what is the origin of softmac in
2.6.17-rc3 kernel ?
I see in the *.c files under that folder:

 *                          Danny van Dyk <kugelfang@gentoo.org>
 *                          Michael Buesch <mbuesch@freenet.de>

Is this softmac layer was written from scratch ? or was it
taken (fully/partially) from softmac in the devicescape linux kernel stack ?
http://devicescape.com/

Best,
IB

It was written from scratch.
