Subject: Is there anybody doing DSRC/802.11p Driver Development?

Hi guys,

I am in a group doing research in vehicular wireless networks. And I have a desire to contribute to this community. The group I am in has done some experiments based on ath9k, and we are interested in applying DSRC protocol. However, it seems that all the available drivers for DSRC are from manufactures, and they are not open source.

I am wondering if there is anybody in this group implementing 802.11p driver? If not, do you think it is worthwhile to add 802.11p driver in to linux wireless drivers? If there's anyone doing this or interested in this, I would like to participate.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Song Gao

Unfortunately they haven't published any code yet.

I'm not aware of anyone working on that at the moment. In general,
we would like to have any technology contribution that someone is
willing to make. :-)
