The CozyBit guys, who did the in-firmware implementation for OLPC, have said they are looking at making a mac80211-based 802.11s implementation that will also be interoperable with the Marvell 8388 firmware implementation that OLPC is using. There have been some mails about that recently: Dan ------------------ Data: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 08:40:58 -0700 (11:40 EDT) Sugject: Re: libertas (private) ioctls vs. nl80211 From: Javier Cardona We (cozybit Inc.) are working on an open implementation of 802.11s for Linux, based on mac80211. We implemented an early draft implementation of 802.11s for the Marvell wireless interface used on the One Laptop Per Child. That implementation was done entirely in firmware to take advantage of the unique capabilities of Marvell's wireless device: the system-on-chip wireless module enables the laptop to act as a low-power, fully functional mesh point even when the main CPU is off. Our next goal is to do a reference implementation of the latest 802.11s draft on Linux. The hope is that it will help to achieve early interoperability and convergence of the standard. We are seeking sponsors for the project. So far Nortel has expressed strong interest. ----------------- - 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
