List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:48:09 -0000 It's a linux driver, so you have to port the linux interface-y bits too and whatever else is missing. You also have to be careful that you don't fall afoul of any RCU style patents. One of the many reasons why mac80211 from linux hasn't been ported over is that it contains RCU code. I have a very basic probe/attach working. My next task is implementing their "transaction" layer that speaks to various busses (although the only thing they currently ship in Linux is PCIe.) I'm kind of hoping that once I've implemented that, porting the rest of the driver won't be so terrible-sounding. -a On 17 June 2014 08:43, Eric McCorkle wrote: > Are there likely to be any issues that you know of?
