Re: The future of the TI ACX wireless driver

* Mac80211 driver, which uses the seemingly
soon-to-be-included-in-kernel mac80211 stack, available on the
wireless-dev tree (the stack, not the driver).
This release is only available here [2] and needs some work before
being included in wireless-dev, since it was released at the time when
mac80211 was still called d80211. In any case, having had a quick look
at the code, I believe that replacing the d80211.h header reference to
mac80211.h and maybe refactoring some functions might be all what is
needed for an initial compilation. Note that I haven't got any
previous driver or kernel module development experience, so I might be
wrong here. What would also be needed is to merge all changes from the
softmac and plain drivers.

You can find a updated-as-of-last-month mac80211 pci driver at 
http://airgo.wdwconsulting.net/acx-mac80211-20070510.patch.bz2
it may or may not work, it compiles, it responds with aps to iwlist sc. 
Enabling ACX_MAC80211_USB will cause the build to fail. I'll be happy to 
take patches and bug reports.

thanks,
