Hi Everybody, I'm new on linux-wireless mailing list. In the recent past I completed my diploma thesis, which included some software implementations with the Madwifi driver. In future the compact-wireless driver (with ath5k) will be used for Atheros Chipsets. So - I'm very interessted to keep an eye on the development of the compact-wireless driver. Maybe I can be a part in enhancing the driver in the future. But first, I have a few questions to you: How does the compact-wireless driver handle the case, when a connection of a STA to an AP gets lost? Is there a solution for "fast handovers" between two APs? Are there any activities to implement something like a "background scanning" in STA Mode? A background scanning will allow a STA to observe the neighbourhood for new APs. There are a few drivers that provide this functionality today. The intention is to reduce Handover latency of a mobile STA, when it switches from one AP to an other AP. What do you think: Is it interessting for you, to work jointly on these challenges?
