Hi everyone,

I just thought I could have CC'ed that e-mail to netdev list as well
so I am forwarding the original here.

And yes, I am looking for some kind of assistance ;-)

all the best,
Mateusz

Subject: opensource atheros driver almost done
To: kernel-mentors@selenic.com


Hi list members,

I am about 85 percent done with opensource atheros driver (for 5212
combo chips at the moment) and I am seeking some help in order to
connect the driver with kernel routines and
expose entrypoints so the driver could be used by applications and i
could finally begin testing.

the driver source code is located at http://mateusz.agrest.org/atheros/

I am developing that driver using ieee80211 branch of netdev kernel
tree, and I am not so confident I do things right using new ieee80211
api. I would appreciate any suggestion
and review of the source code.


thanks a lot,
Mateusz

please have a look at
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/cvs/cvsbrowse.php/ieee80211/patches-upstream/
These patches are likely to be merged by Jeff soon (apply using
quilt or use the order in the series file)

Also, you can have a look at
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/cvs/cvsbrowse.php/ieee80211/patches-netdev/
These patches break a lot of things, but can tell you more about
the ongoing development of the ieee80211 layer.
