I've used bcm43xx and rt2500usb so far. ok, if i use the card (on the PC) : bcm43xx or rt2500usb on the AP side : Use a Wireless ADSL router (Huawei Quidway wa1003a series) It supports 802.11b/g. Now the point that comes to my mind is, if the "Huawei Quidway wa1003a series" does not support 802.11i, then how can i go about testing the same 802.11i ? My intention is that i should be able to work/test 802.11a/b/g/i/. for that which products i should use..?? Pls let me know your views about the above. > same - "participate in development on d80211" Well, check http://wireless.sipsolutions.net for things we still have to do... and then send patches :) Or do something else you're interested in and send patches. thanks johannes Regards, Udayan Tata Consultancy Services - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

What do you want a test environment for? That's the key issue. I have a bunch of wireless hardware and an access point... lets say we have development happening in d80211 driver. now if i want to participate in the development of the (d80211), i can do it in a much better manner if i am trying out modificaitons on my own on the drivers that are using d80211 (my feeling) e.g. bcm43xx, etc. Hence i would like to setup a test environment where i can make modifications in code (of d80211 or related driver) and test it > Few points that for clarification. > 1.

You fail to state what you actually want to do... sorry for that, will surely try to give a complete picture in future (tried that today again - hope its ok..). johannes thanks..

Setup of testing lab and work on development
Hello, From the previous response that i received, now i have the code and now m browsing thru it. 1. if i understood correctly.. The discussion thread : "wireless notes / pre d80211 merge" discussion applies to the directory "net/d80211/" from git:.. 2. Test environment to setup for d80211 would be like this : Laptop (Centrino - with ipw2200 or would it be some other) <> PC acting as Access Point (with Wireless modem) Any other that you would suggest that would be a more reasonable test environment setup ? Also if you have suggestions which company of appliances i should go for.. I can have 2 PCs i386 (Fedora Linux) easily available. So if some add ons can be used would be pretty good also. Few points that for clarification. 1. I intend to do the same so that I can also check if I make any changes how are they reflected. I hope my purpose would be solved with above setup. 2. How frequently would there be changes required in h/w here ? tia..

Only the code AFAIK. referring to the standards might be good i.e. 802.11 standards ?? I intend to work in the manner: 1. There are quite many standards that have already been implemented e.g. 802.11a/b/g in the kernel (here wireless-dev). If there is a new standard wrt. 802.11x coming in, then I can work on same. 2. Work on an already implemented standard and try to add a missing feaature into it.

[Info]d80211 : Understanding d80211
Hi, I wanted to understand the code of d80211 (thanks to James Ketrenos for the info he provided) and also work in it. I found that I can get the latest patches regarding the same from : http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/wireless-2.6/ Also, in the main kernel tree the development for 802.11 is in "drivers/net/wireless/*" . Well, I did not find any reference of d80211 in lk 2.6.18.1, though a few places I read that the possible merger would be in lk 2.6.19. I hope I got it right ? Any docs that I can read through that you would recommend from where I can start up ? Is there any place where I can download the code in a similar pattern as we do from kernel.org for the mainstream kernel ? tia, Udayan Tata Consultancy Services India www.tcs.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
