Yeah, I don't think anybody is working on it. FWIW, what we need in the
kernel/drivers is, I think
1) signals for significant signal change (offloaded to firmware for
beacons while no traffic is flowing)
2) a way of telling userspace whether or not it has to handle roaming,
now that new cards are showing up (iwm) that can handle it
themselves
and probably some more. I don't suppose you will be in Berlin, but it
would probably be helpful for you to wait for that discussion to have
taken place before working on it, because then we'll have at least a
plan of where we want to see this go.
