At the moment, I'd suggest focusing on the drivers that still use wext (git grep -w iw_handler_def drivers), if we can show that rtl8192e, rtl8712 or ks7010 have been broken for a while, removing those would help with removing wext altogether.


Hi,

__rtl8192e__
this hardware is available on ebay 13 times.
ping statistics:
1191 packets transmitted, 1191 received, 0% packet loss, time 1192169ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.633/2.184/74.792/3.157 ms
maximum download 12,5 MByte/s

__rtl8712__
stick packard bell AW-NU120
ping statistics:
678 packets transmitted, 652 received, 3.83481% packet loss, time 678287ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.943/4.835/231.435/17.900 ms
maximum download 12,5 MByte/s

I would like to remove the private functions as the "wireless tools" package is deprecated. The following functions are available:
kernel@matrix-ESPRIMO-P710:~/Documents/git/kernels/staging$ iwpriv wlan0
wlan0     Available private ioctls :
          read32           (8BE0) : set   1 int   & get   0
          write32          (8BE1) : set   1 int   & get   0
          driver_ext       (8BE2) : set   0       & get   0
          mp_ioctl         (8BE3) : set   0       & get   0
          apinfo           (8BE4) : set   1 int   & get   0
          setpid           (8BE5) : set   1 int   & get   0
          wps_start        (8BE6) : set   1 int   & get   0
          chplan           (8BE7) : set   1 int   & get   0

What do you think about this?

Thanks

Bye Philipp
