> We, the MadWifi team, announce our decision to move away from
Congratulations !
I also thought about going to bcm43xx based WLAN cards, as they
are now working much better than two months ago ... and, from a
what-happens-in-linux-kernel-perspective, it seamed much more
lively and healthy.
For example, several people tried to get better roaming support
into madwifi. That's basically a job for net80211, not for the
atheros chipset. But the madwifi project lacked people with
enought time and knowledge in the net80211 area, so no peer
review did happen and, of course, the code in the madwifi svn
didn't get changed, so madwifi still doesn't roam more smoothly.
So, by moving to ath5k, which is using mac80211, there is no need
to have people that know and can maintain BSD's net80211 inside
Linux. We get the best from both worlds: some very knowledgeable
people in the mac80211 area, and some very knowledgeable persons
in the atheros driver area.
I like that :-)
