Linux WLAN NG TODO
- [CS] Need to look at the pcmcia_cs/include/linux/config.h issue.
David's overriding our include of the kernel config with his collection
of config items that pcmcia_cs cares about. Unfortunately, there's at
least one item we need (CONFIG_NETLINK) that pcmcia_cs isn't picking up.
- [USB] Integrate with usbmgr and new hotplug subsystem.
- [USB] Remove driver's port-reset when new primary firmware becomes
available.
- [USB] Look into multiple posted URBs
- [PCI] Add PCI power management support.
- Figure out how to reasonably control powersave
- Consider a host WEP option
- Review changes necessary for static linking to kernel
- Update MAC RID to 802.11 MIB mapping document
- Update MAC feature to 802.11 mapping document
- Display the MAC and BBP partnum & revision at initialization time
- Perform a more effective I/O access test and an irq test at
initialization time
- Detect dead card and perform reset and reinitialization
- Get rid of frame copy in conversion (use skb more effectively)
- Add capability for 802.11 frames up/down the stack.
- Figure out the right way for the following OOB data to ride up and down
the stack:
- rx signal stats
- rx time
- rx/tx DCF/PCF
- rx/tx priority
- Add an lnx command to query the rx signal stats:
(cumlative should be a weighted average)
last beacon rssi
last beacon sq
last beacon noise floor
cumlative beacon rssi
cumlative beacon sq
cumlative beacon noise floor
last data rssi
last data sq
last data noise floor
cumlative data rssi
cumlative data sq
cumlative data noise floor
