I fully second this suggestion. We once stated that the binary HAL is one of the major obstacles when it comes to maintaining MadWifi. Now that the HAL source has finally been made available it would only be consistent to concentrate the remaining work that is spent on MadWifi on the madwifi-free branch.

I second the second! And now I wonder if that makes it (2+1) third, or (2^2) fourth.

First I had to merge some unmerged changes from the trunk to madwifi-free. The old trunk is now preserved as madwifi-hal-0.9.30.13. There is no difference between madwifi-hal-0.9.30.13 and madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6 except the HAL itself. The trunk is now what madwifi-free used to be. It was a merge, not a move, so that the trunk history is preserved. I believe it's more interesting for debugging than the history of madwifi-free. The madwifi-free branch has been deleted, as it has been merged. The script for generating snapshots may need to be updated. The DFS branch has been updated to the open source HAL as well. There is still 143k of difference between the trunk and the DFS branch that should be merged or abandoned. At least having free HAL should assist with the debugging. There are also differences between madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6 and madwifi-hal-testing that may need to be merged. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |
