I have achieved this starting with the d80211 and cfg80211 code from wireless-dev.git, and applying some of the intel patches from the d80211 subsystem package and a couple of other pointer cast fixes. I have not made a patch set yet as I am still experimenting. The problem i am up against is now i must disable the existing wireless extensions in the kernel and this can only be done with a kernel rebuild. I have not tried this yet as I am not sure there is a lot of point continuing on this route as its not possible to completely out of kernel build the cfg80211 modules, which was the target for my experimentation. -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk
