We're *still* working on virtualizing ath5k. Over the last few days, we have gotten this working pretty well, including virtual APs, virtual STAs with WPA & no security. I haven't tested WEP lately. We are chasing a few remaining buglets and optimizations currently. I have a page up here to help get started using this: http://www.candelatech.com/oss/vsta.html NOTE: The .31 tree mentioned there has a bunch of other patches in it that we use for various purposes. There is no clean way to get *just* our wifi changes at this point. We plan to submit the patches upstream, but there is a lot of churn in wifi code so it will be a bit longer before we can get the patches tested on stable code and then ported to the development branches. I haven't tried out ath9k yet, but look forward to it once we get ath5k nailed down. Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
