I won't have time to mentor anyone this year. I do note, however, that the projects aren't really very well thought out. The IBSS one is concerned with TPT but somebody else is working on 11n support anyway, for instance. Also multiple IBSS per HW, which is really tricky and can only work in corner cases. Overall, I'm not convinced this is a suitable project. The second one is just totally useless. The last one looks a bit like some googling around the problem space of a basic idea ("improve roaming"), but offers no reasonable indication as to actually achieving any type of solution, and any actual roaming improvements wouldn't be in the kernel anyway. Even if I had time to mentor, I think I'd reject these applications anyway. johannes
