Now that IEEE 802.11s/D3.0 actually passed the 75% threshold in the IEEE 802.11 working group ballot, it would be nice to get the implementation in Linux updated to match with the latest draft. I did review most of the draft, but have not yet checked how close the current Linux implementation is to this. I'm not sure when I would have enough time to work on this, so I would not mind if there were other people showing up with interest to work on this.. ;-) Being able to run interoperability tests with two independent implementations would obviously be quite useful both from the view point of getting better implementations and also to be able to figure out if there are still unclear areas in the draft that would need to be cleared up before the amendment to the standard gets published. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA
