Hi,
I’m currently following the Openwrt project (http://openwrt.org/) with
specific interest to the AR7 port. The hardworking developers on this
project have really brought support for this along: the unit works, the
ADSL component works, but the wireless support is still WIP. Until
recently the acx drivers (http://acx100.sourceforge.net/) were used to
drive the card on the unit; a specific pci-to-vlynq bridge had been
written to enable this to work on the AR7 platform. This worked well,
but there was no WPA support available; WEP was the only encryption
available with this driver.
Hence to address this, initial work was taken for the acx driver to
utilise the mac80211 stack and a new acx driver called acx-mac80211 was
written (http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Acx-mac80211). IMHO this
still very much WIP and is nowhere near as stable as the original acx
driver. But, perhaps the largest sticking point is that the acx-mac80211
driver, unlike acx, does not support AP (master) mode. I have struggled
to find out whether this is an issue in the acx-mac80211 driver
component or in fact the mac80211 does not support master mode at this
moment in time. Can anyone shed some light on this and help clear up my
ongoing confusion?
Regards,
Mark Williamson
