Hi, just for fun, I created a graph of wext->nl80211 mappings: http://git.spaceboyz.net/?p=nl80211/nl80211-meta.git;a=blob_plain;f=nl80211-map.png;hb=865687f294a84d7847ed7a05aa63de5cbb1a0c89 - wext stuff marked red means I have no idea what that ioctl does - lines marked blue mean I'm not sure whether that's correct - nl80211 cmds in lowercase and light green aren't outlined yet So, what's left? > - more PHY config stuff? > - TX power? Should be able to configure a lower value... > - antenna selection? - antenna diversity, as noted by Holger Schurig - the entire regulatory stuff For this, my first idea (included in that graph) would be to have a GET_REGULATORY_CAPS command which returns whether the device has a fixed list of regdomains or whether it can load anything. Depending on that, either SELECT_REGDOMAIN or SET_CHANLIST can be used. For the chanlist, there would be additional attributes specifying stuff like max power, active scanning, etc. Other new: - {get,set}{mac,radio} for tx power (within regulatory limits), retry stuff, antennas?, etc. What I totally missed is that there also is no rate configuration command yet (!). Do we want that in SET_CHANNEL? (and rename it to SET_PHY?) -David - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
