    After 13 years of use, it looks like my email address is finally going
    to disappear. While this is likely to drop the amount of incoming spam
    greatly ;-), it may also affect more appropriate messages, so let's
    update my email address in various places. In addition, Host AP mailing
    list is subscribers-only and linux-wireless can also be used for
    discussing issues related to this driver which is now shown in
    MAINTAINERS.

  • baef18651   [PATCH] WE-21 support (core API) ... Browse Code »

    This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog :
    o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1)
    o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more
    o long/short retry

    This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean
    Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize
    future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor).

  • 711e2c33a   [PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16 ... Browse Code »

    This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the
    completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the
    full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink.

    Few comments on the patch :
    o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed.
    o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created
    (around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over
    RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents.
    o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no
    need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well
    encapsulated.
    o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean.
    o Code do probably too many checks and could be further
    optimised, but better safe than sorry.
    o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on
    my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff.

    I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful
    suggestions to make this patch better.

  • 6582c164f   [PATCH] WE-19 for kernel 2.6.13 ... Browse Code »

    Hi Jeff,

    This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed
    to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy
    about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small.
    The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various
    wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing
    that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take
    advantage ot it ?

    It includes :
    o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of
    long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of
    NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback.
    o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if
    this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at
    peace with it.
    o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been
    requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it
    was not even painful.
    o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's
    now gone for good.
    o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev
    o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11
    stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-)
    All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on
    my web pages for a while...

    Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the
    Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective
    maintainers.

    Have fun...

  • fff9cfd99   [PATCH] Wireless Extensions 18 (aka WPA) ... Browse Code »

    This is version 18 of the Wireless Extensions. The main change
    is that it adds all the necessary APIs for WPA and WPA2 support. This
    work was entirely done by Jouni Malinen, so let's thank him for both
    his hard work and deep expertise on the subject ;-)
    This APIs obviously doesn't do much by itself and works in
    concert with driver support (Jouni already sent you the HostAP
    changes) and userspace (Jouni is updating wpa_supplicant). This is
    also orthogonal with the ongoing work on in-kernel IEEE support (but
    potentially useful).
    The patch is attached, tested with 2.6.11. Normally, I would
    ask you to push that directly in the kernel (99% of the patch has been
    on my web page for ages and it does not affect non-WPA stuff), but
    Jouni convinced me that it should bake a few weeks in wireless-2.6
    first, so that other driver maintainers can get up to speed with it.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
