Re: wireless mini-summit agenda proposals?

cfg80211/nl80211 - overview, get Johannes to disseminate knowledge
because email isn't optimal for this.  I haven't had enough time to jump
into it yet, but the fact that Johannes is the vast majority of the
effort here is worrisome.  Having a reference implementation (airo,
atmel, maybe libertas) of a fullmac driver ported to cfg80211 would
probably be very useful, even just to get a sense of how the API works.
cfg80211/nl80211 is no further for fullmac drivers than a year ago, all
work it got so far is for hostapd.

I have a fairly decent plan how to add association/... support but it
lacks execution because it's completely boring work that doesn't buy us
any new features since we still have to support wext.
802.11n - do we need any discussion here or is it just a question of
executing on the current plan?
I think with the last patchset from Ron it's mostly done, cleanups still
to do and probably QoS improvements (I'm thinking multiqueue netdevs
here)
Userspace MLME - what's going on here?  Noise around this seems to be
quieter these days.  Is stuff going according to plan/schedule or are
there roadblocks?
Nobody is working on this, but a good part is done since hostapd works
and the userspace MLME needs many of the same features. Again, the
biggest thing is cfg80211/nl80211 support, setting a device to userspace
MLME mode and implementing the communication.
