Some of them use mac80211, you can find out which one by looking at Kconfig there, e.g. when they have a line "depends on MAC80211" there. Those existing drivers should be a great inspiration to you :-) It also helps when you share more about your incentives. E.g. writing > I'm about to write a new driver for mac80211. doesn't give a great deal of insight into what you're up to. Maybe someone else already begin to write a driver for your hardware ?!?! No one can tell you this right now, so you can't possibly save work on your side. For example, the openmoko people are writing a mac80211 driver for ar6k. Not every driver is already in the wireless-2.6 git tree. - 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
