I just pulled down the iwn code from OpenBSD current a little while ago and started hacking on it. I haven't made a lot of progress, so I'll gladly work with you on it. I'm a decent C programmer, but my lack of knowledge of kernel internals, functions, and data structures is my stumbling block. That's one of the main reasons I'm all about getting this driver working -- it gives me yet another chance to get into the kernel source and learn something new. Where do we begin?
