I now know where the wpa_supplicant part is and once I find the matching patch for Prism54 driver, I'll send them both to you. > I have yet to review most of the wpa_supplicant code so I cannot say for > sure yet what I think should go into the kernel.

You may have seen only two drivers, but actually I'm already aware of at least seven drivers that work with wpa_supplicant.. All of these are not yet available publicly, though. I believe that the current design for wpa_supplicant is quite alright for most cases. I would like to give some more thought for the roaming part (i.e., consider giving more control for the driver), but this should be doable in a backward compatible way without breaking support with existing code. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
