Just for AGN100 at this monment, but not very stable, specify speak,
it will lost the associate after a while and the highest TX speed
just reached to 8Mbit/S.

Yes, It is my fault, I am very busy for another company's project
recently. hence have not too much time to maintain and update the
code, but I want to spend more time on it when I have time in later.

Yes, all reverse engineer chipset info are local in this Website. it
was maintained by Jeff, but he has quit this project for something he
has to do. as you know, this driver is totally based on reverse
engineer, and lot of hardware detail hasn't been figure out yet, so
this is the biggest
balk for this project. If any volunteer like to burden this task, it
will be greatly welcome.

I understand that Airgo released some GPL code a while back
(http://web.archive.org/web/20051219012536/http://gpl.airgonetworks.com/)
and Belkin released the GPL source & toolchain to their F5D9630
(Wireless G+ MIMO Modem Router) recently - I have no idea if this code
includes source related to the chipset or if Jeff looked at this
source when reverse eng the specs.
Airgo is now part of Qualcomm, but surprisingly enough there is a
claim that one of the airgo engineers had developed linux drivers that
were held back.
(http://www.linuxelectrons.com/news/mobile/airgo-and-asus-team-launch-faster-wired-laptop).
He still works at Qualcomm and has a linkedin profile here
(http://www.linkedin.com/in/cfliu)
Is it possible that one of the maintainers could get in touch with him to see:
* if these mythical drivers were indeed developed, the status of the
drivers and the possibility of Qualcomm releasing the source?
* the possibility of releasing the complete specifications of the chipset?
If no one here is the right person to get in touch with David, perhaps
someone can point me in the right direction?
thanks,

Not sure F5D9630 contain the Airgo chipset, FWIK F5d8010 contain the
agn100 chipset

The Linksys published the source code for WRT54GX in its website, and
it contains the binary driver for Agn100. I guess Jeff also has some
binary code of Agn300, but don't know specify.

I never find any clue about this driver.BTW I had contacted with some
people of Airgo company, but all has no response.

I'll retry to get in touch with him. Thank your support for this project!
