Hi Inaky, do you (or any others from Intel) have an estimate for when the open source supplicant will be available? I want to propose the Intel WiMAX Link 5350 for a product that my company is making, but we run Linux on an Intel XScale (ARM) processor so we will need to compile all of the source code ourselves including the supplicant. Please give us an estimated time frame on when the open source supplicant will be available so that we can factor this into our product plans.
