All XR related stuff is missing from both Legacy and Sam's HAL + it's nasty IMHO. We need to define new rates, send beacons on both 0.25 and 1Mbits, use that polling mechanism, introduce a new IE etc. It 'll need lots of changes and the code will get even more complex + if we want to do it right at least the polling mechanism has to go to mac80211 and i don't think anyone wants that, imagine if every vendor started putting proprietary stuff like that on mac80211 (and there are way more nasty vendor specific stuff). I don't want to see ath5k/mac80211 become like MadWiFi. If we can find a way to support XR on ath5k without touching mac80211 then we can talk about it but right now we don't even know how to make it work. -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
