Rodriguez" To: "linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org" , Linux-Kernel Subject: Release of Atheros 802.11n USB Linux driver Cc: "Johannes Berg" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Google-Sender-Auth: abe19238da7ddf07 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org We would like to see our Atheros 802.11n USB Linux driver upstream however we need help with this so we are releasing our Atheros 11n USB Otus Linux driver under the ISC to the community. The goal is to work with the community to help move this forward upstream. We are hoping for community help and leadership on this (*cough*). In the meantime users should be able to use this driver and patches are welcomed to add newer wireless extension support so users on newer kernels can get their devices working. The focus should be upstream though :) Anyway, some more details. Supported hardware: Atheros 802.11n hardware: UB81, UB82, UB83 Requirements: Kernel 2.4 - 2.6.24 Get the driver: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/otus.git Features supported: * IEEE standard compliance * IEEE 802.11a/b/g * IEEE 802.11h, 802.11d * IEEE 80211i * IEEE Draft 2.0 802.11n * Ad Hoc join (2.4GHz, 5GHz if SKU allows), create (2.4GHz , 5GHz if SKU allows) Adhoc security: WEP * Security Authentication: WPA/WPA2 (Personal / Enterprise), 802.1x Encryption: none, AES, TKIP, WEP40, WEP104 wpa_supplicant otus driver: This driver requires its own supplicant driver for wpa_supplicant 0.4.8.
