Hello all, in Nokia we have been working on a mac80211 driver for TI wl1251 chipset. We named it as wl12xx, and in the future we are planning to add wl1271 support to the driver as well. wl1251 is a chipset for embedded devices, supporting both SDIO and SPI busses. Currently the driver supports only SPI. Adding support 1253 (the 5 GHz version) should be relatively easy. More information here: http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?contentId=4711&navigationId=12494&templateId=6123 Because the patch is over 200 KB, the driver is temporarily available from my server: http://www.valot.fi/kalle/tmp/wl12xx/wl12xx-2.6.28-1.patch The patch is against linux-2.6.28-omap1 tag available here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0ec95b96fd77036a13398c66901e11cd301190d0 Currently known issues: o short slot and preamble support missing o rts/cts and cts-to-self missing o no proper bitrate control support o using deprecated omap_get_config(), need to convert to use platform_data o firmware wakeup not working, deepest sleep state in firmware not yet enabled Also the driver has a netlink interface which is used for running production line tests and pushing the calibration data from user space. All comments and review is greatly appreciated. After receiving all the comments, I will port the driver to the wireless-testing tree and submit a version for the possible inclusion. TI has given us technical support while developing the driver, big thanks to them. -- Kalle Valo -- 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
