Hello, Since some time (April to be precise ;) I'm working on a port of the acx100- mac80211 code to an iPaq hx4700 platform (ARM) using the slave memory interface. Objective: WPA and WPA2 support. So, with assistance of Andreas Mohn (original acx dev-team member) on Sunday it finally worked out: Successfull WPA and WPA2 association and data transfers (Rx,Tx) on the hx4700 :)! The code is in a very, very rough state. It's based on commit '86162170...' from the acx-git repro and running with a 2.6.28 kernel version. The entire crypto, including wep for the moment, is happening inside the mac80211 in SW. I would like to move the code to the acx100 SourceForge project now and continue the work in the project. As proposal I thought to do this perhaps in a branch in the acx git-repro, e.g. "acx-mac80211-mem". Like this changes wouldn't impact the PCI and USB parts. What do you think about this ? Could this be arranged ? Next steps would be: --- * Cleanup my thousand dev comments, debug messages, #ifdefs etc. * Optimize the current solution; pin-point the essential parts, that made it work * Realign for easy merge with acx-mainline * Make acx code compile as stand-alone driver (out of tree) * Realign with kernel 2.6.31+ * Improve mem.c IRQ handling (put in the work-queue again e.g.) * Improve mem.c CMD handling (better handling of timeouts) * Fix issues in proc-interface * Pull over usefull mac80211-related code to USB and PCI, however I can't test these * Test and optimize perf, load, long-run stability * ... --- BR, Oliver |

Fantastic! Wouldn't believe somebody was so persistent with this and win it over. Please keep up the good work, and make it land in acx100 project and mainline ;-). -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pm...@gm... |

Please keep up the good work, and make it land in acx100 Well, basically the whole thing is about replacing my other iPaq ;) ... then there was the good Linux support on the hx4700 ... only that WPA was missing! ... . > project and mainline ;-). Indeed, that would be the plan. Cheers, Oliver |
