you may have heard of maranello, a project to add
partial packet recovery to 80211, by adding block checksums
on transmit, validating them or re-requesting retransmit
of corrupted blocks.

http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/maranello/

the code at the page is for 2.6.29-rc2

Ive taken it, did some refactoring to ease merging,
and merged in each linux release, up to 3.3

I redid it, this time no refactoring, just conflict resolution
and compile fixes.

Now pushed to:
https://github.com/jimc/linux-2.6/tree/maranello/merges

quoted

So I guess Im seeking advice:

- what did I break
- what happens when the driver is tested

Theres a lot to fix still.
- // comments
- long lines
- unused vars
- various FIXMEs
- refactorings for better reuse in other drivers
  (this is large question, probably with lots of answers)

What drivers have FW whose source is available,
and thus hackable for maranello support ?

thanks.
