For those that could not make it to the 2011 Linux wireless summit at LinuxCon Vancouver we have up 3 videoes on YouTube: 1) [RFC] 802.11 DFS design on mac80211 / ath9k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yyFiLFx4Mg Saxnet present their latest effort on design for a DFS architecture for mac80211 and for ath9k. This is from LinuxCon 2011 this week. Saxnet did an awesome job. If this design works for certification it could mean lowering the entry price for AP vendors looking to pass DFS testing. This work is under review now. 2) 802.11s on LInux mac80211 802.11s Mesh Networking was ratified by IEEE for integration into 802.11. Javier Cardona has been leading its implementation and support on mac80211. In this session he reviews 802.11s with open and encrypted environments. 802.11s uses a different encryption algorithm called "simultaneous authentication of equals", Javier reviews work needed to integrate the userspace application required supporting this encryption mechanism on hostapd / wpa_supplicant. 3) wmediumd for mac80211_hwsim Javier Cardona explains what Cozybit used to test the 802.11s code implemented in mac80211. He used extensions to mac80211_hwsim that allow links to be lossy. Cozybit also wrote a daemon to communicate to mac80211_hwsim to statically or dynamically alter the characteristics of the links. Right now mac80211_hwsim only accounts for packet loss between links but extensions can be made to also add latency later. He also demos a Java application used to create your topology for mac80211_hwsim. Researchers should get a chubby with this framework -- you can extend this to do really cool shit, all in software with no hardware. -- Kudos to Saxnet and Cozybit for their presentations and *awesome* work on coding up stuff and doing a great job at explaining all this to us. Nothing else was recorded, sorry :) If you loose the links you'll be able to find them here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation#YouTube_Documentation Luis -- 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
