[Madwifi-devel] Where to start?

[Sergiy B. <rr...@gm...>]

Hello,

I would like to take part in madwifi or ath5k development. In particular I
want to address the issue of compatibility with 2.6.24-22 core since I own
one myself I would like to be able to use WiFi.

I have some experience with C++ and Linux. I know how to use SVN and
familiar with branching, tagging etc. However, I have no experience writing
any kind of drivers and I'm no expert in wireless networking. But I am
taking a course about wireless networking and familiar with user interface
(e.g. selection of network, security settings on router etc.). Of course I
understand that I'll have to learn a lot to be able to do useful work, but
nevertheless I would like to try. Please guide me where to start?

Please do not propose me to work as tester. I am not the kind of person to
spend hours using software just to find some bugs. I prefer to do
programming and test only my own code. Thank you.

P.S. I was redirected into this mailing list from support channel
#madwifi<irc://freenode.net/madwifi>in the Freenode
network <http://freenode.net/>.

Sincerely yours,
Byelozyorov Sergiy.
