The documentation is up on the source-forge download section. As far as=20
getting this into the mainline code, I guess that depends on what the=20
demand is and what the kernel devs think.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your quick response. Do you have any links to the=20
documentation you mention at all? Also, are there any plans to get this=20
into the mainline kernel?
Cheers,

The firmware for the Ar6001 resides on the target device. It is not=20
downloaded and there is no requirement for a HAL. To support the MX31=20
you would write a Host Controller Driver(HCD) for the MX31 SDIO host=20
controller hardware. There are numerous samples of HCDs as well as a=20
section of the documentation that describes HCDs and the APIs used by=20
them.

I've looked though the bulletin for the AR6001, which shows the device=20
having an "Integrated RISC processor". Presumably this processor must=20
run some firmware. Is the firmware contained in the onboard flash? I=20
can't seem to find anywhere in the ar6000_wlan patch which downloads=20
firmware into the device. The bulletin also seems to indicate the=20
firmware is based around eCos. I know this has a BSD-type licence, but=20
is the source available at all? The bulletin seems to imply it is.
Am I right in thinking this driver is completely open source? It doesn't
need a binary HAL like the AR500x drivers do?
I am hoping this could be interfaced to a Frescale i.MX31 application=20
processor. I've not even started looking at how compatible the MX31's=20
SDIO kernel module is to this SDIO stack. I'm hoping that I could port=20
this stack to use the MX31's SDIO interface. If I'm honest, I'm less=20
than clueless at the moment as I have only just started looking into=20
this. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Tom
