Not sure exactly what you mean with this one. Are you talking about the lib80211 line item? Or enhancements to the mac80211 component to support full(er) MAC designs? > I think that these two topics should take precedence over other topics > that although important consume more time in the agenda, and are > currently less likely to have impact on the average users such as 11s > and 11w. > > it would be good if these topics will get substantial time slot in the agenda. There are lots of items listed, and I'm not sure we will cover all of them. If there are any that you would like to suggest be dropped completely then please do so. That said, I don't think we have enough time for real working sessions on Tuesday. I think it would be better just to touch on a variety of topics that can benefit from some face-to-face discussions. >From that perspective, I think some status reports and some brief proposals are most appropriate. I'll post a revised (mostly just augmented) agenda proposal today. John -- John W.
