2011/8/20 Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxx>: > 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 Thanks a lot ! Is it possible to have the presentations uploaded on the wiki also ? -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
