Well that may be your opinion, but it's certainly not mine. We had just discussed starting an in-house project to port the HAL to the d80211 stack when David made his announcement. The reason? While we'd obviously prefer that the HAL didn't exist, if it's going to exist we would far rather that it had a common 80211 stack on top of it, so that we can easily switch to other chipsets and retain the same featureset. Reducing the number of 80211 stacks in use in Linux is a great thing. > Please switch to openhal or the openbsd code and we all owe you a lot o= f > beer at the next conference :) I'll be very happy to provide beer for any devicescape employee I meet, simply based on the initial release of dadwifi.
