However, my advice is the following: As long as the driver's home is on some "obscure" tar files, it will always suffer from bitrot and not-so-much contribution by third partis. So aim to bring the driver into the linux kernel. Talk with John W. Linville on the linux-wireless mailing list about this. http://linuxwireless.org should give you pointers. For drivers, sometimes Linux accepts even not-so-good-code, when there is a chance that the beast get's better via re-factoring over time. When if_cs.c went into the in-kernel-libertas driver, a few people that I never heard of found errors or sent bugfixes. Second advice: I think the BSD people (FreeBSD possible) have a m8k driver in their kernel tree. As I have heard, this beast actually works. So either look there for inspiration or try *BSD, pepper the code with debug printks and try to understand the differences between their code and the current linux code. -- 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
