Last friday I was asked on IRC about the dependency of libertas on CONFIG_IEEE80211. I gave a quick question, but today I had time to look into this further. 1. simply things * remove "select IEEE80211" in wireless/KConfig * remove "#include <net/ieee80211.h>" 2. MAX_WPA_IE_LEN This was defined in net/ieee80211.h, but is not defined in linux/ieee80211.h. I have two options, which one should I go: * define it locally in some libertas header file * define it as IEEE80211_MAX_WPA_IE_LEN in linux/ieee80211.h 3. MAX_NETWORK_COUNT libertas has a list of found BSSses during scanning. It keeps them in an kzalloc()'ed array. However, it doesn't use any of ieee80211's code for BSS or associating, so I guess I make this a private define, e.g. LBS_MAX_BSS_COUNT. 4. DEFAULT_MAX_SCAN_AGE Again, libertas doesn't use any aging code from ieee80211, so I guess I make this a libertas-private define. 5. MFIE_TYPE_xxxx enum They are easily substituded with the proper WLAN_EID_xxx ones. 6. struct ieee80211_info_element In scan.c, libertas uses heavily the "struct ieee80211_info_element". As this struct might be useful for other non-max80211 drivers, I'd suggest putting it in include/linux/ieee80211.h. 7. RADIOTAP Libertas contains lot's of code for it's monitoring mode, which uses radiotap. It used "struct net_device *rtap_net_dev" and "struct ieee80211_device *ieee". It contains code like priv->rtap_net_dev = alloc_ieee80211(0); priv->ieee = netdev_priv(priv->rtap_net_dev); and I don't have any knowledge about radiotap and how to substitue the alloc_ieee80211(). All I could currently to is to put those sections into #ifdef CONFIG_IEEE80211. - 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
