Hi @ all!
I need some Information:
I'm currently developing the the wireless functions for the rtl8180
chipset.
There's only one problem:
I don't know how to perform a wireless scan.
How does it work?
Is there an algorithm or a GPL based driver which does this well?
I'm happy about any help.
Thanks

Most modern wireless drivers support the scan function (airo,
hostap, orinoco v15, prism54, atmel_cs, wl3501, madwifi, ipw2x00,
acx100, poldhu, at76c503, adm8211... - check my Howto).
Unfortunately, the implementation is highly dependant on the
hardware itself, and each hardware has it's own way. Chipset which are
"softer" require more work. A good example of harder MAC is
airo/orinoco, for softer MAC check madwifi.
Good luck...
