Porting AR6K to use cfg80211

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I am using the Neo Freerunner(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner)
on a project which I am trying to setup to use a wireless mesh network using
open80211s

I was able to build a custom kernel to enable the 80211_MESH capability, but
finally realised the driver that ships with the Freerunner isn't compatible
with the new stack.

The chipset is:

Accton (WLAN 802.11b/g SiP-M WM3236AQ(Flash Ver:2.0 Atheros AR6001GZ) which
uses the AR6K driver, which from what I have read doesn't use mac80211.

Unfortunately I know very little about wireless drivers.

I was curious if I could get a few expert opinions on if its possible to port
this driver to use mac80211, and how difficult/ what pitfalls there may be.

While I don't know much about wireless drivers, I do have extensive
experience porting other drivers and don't usually shy away from a challenge ;)
So, if there's any positive feedback I would give it a shot.

Thanks for your time and comments.

Matt Ryan
