If not, will The libertas parts are "fullmac" parts, and implement most functionality in firmware. mac80211 is a "softmac" stack, which implements functionality on the host CPU. Thus, it's simply impossible to use mac80211 with the fullmac libertas parts (838x, 838x). Furthermore, that would be sort of counter to what the fullmac parts are supposed to be, which is embedded, power-efficient parts that don't require much interaction from the host CPU. > cfg80211 mechanisms be supported with this driver? Since cfg80211 itself is intended to be independent of mac80211, and should be able to be used as the configuration interface for all drivers, be they fullmac or softmac, yes.
