That should be fun ! Have in mind there is already a driver (STA only)
included since 3.8 -
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ar5523 so probe/attach
should be fine.

Bob are you still interested in power saving stuff ?

Is anyone interested in working on DFS ?

 I'm happy to be a mentor for the AR5523 support. Who knows, I may end
 up learning how the hardware works!

 I'll see if I can dig up my AR5523 and get the basic probe/attach working.

 Hello all,

 So the application period for the next OPW round starts tomorrow, I'm
 CCing Sarah Sharp who is coordinating things to let you know about the
 details in case anyone else is interested. I'm already in on AR5513
 support and we can also go for power saving, tx completion etc stuff
 (Bob ?) and more.

 It sounds like Luis might be interested in volunteering to be a mentor
 too.  Looks like there are plenty of ath5k/ath9k project ideas, so it
 would be fine to have multiple mentors (or have two people co-mentor an
 intern).

 Bob and Adrian, if you're interested in being an OPW mentor, please take
 a look at this page:  http://kernelnewbies.org/OPWMentor

 As Nick mentioned, the application period opens tomorrow (Feb 25th), and
 continues until March 19th.  After that interns will be selected, and
 the internships will run from May 19th to August 19th.

 If anyone is interested in being a mentor with Nick, let me know and
 I'll start the process of subscribing you to lists, etc.

 Nick, can you update http://kernelnewbies.org/OPWIntro with a project
 description for the AR5513 support?  I'd like to at least have that
 project description in place before the application period starts.

 Thanks,
 Sarah Sharp

sorry, I meant AR5513. :-P

And I can help with DFS, but since the spec changed after the 11n
chips came out, it's going to be hard to make a spec-compliant DFS
implementation for the pre-11n chips. The short pulses and the chirps
are the two things these chips have no real chance of handling well..
