Wilocity implemented the firmware, QCA maintains the device driver. Currently supported: - STA: with security - AP: limited to 1 connected STA, security disabled - Monitor: due to a hardware/firmware limitation either control or non-control frames are monitored Using a STA and AP with this drive, one can assemble a fully functional BSS. Throughput of 1.2Gbps is achieved with iperf. The wil6210 cards have on-board flash memory for the firmware, the cards comes pre-flashed and no firmware download is required.

Add ath6kl cleaned up driver 2011-08-09T16:45:18+00:00 Kalle Valo kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com 2011-07-17T21:22:30+00:00 bdcd81707973cf8aa9305337166f8ee842a050d4 Last May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which is currently in staging. The work has happened in a separate ath6kl-cleanup tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summary After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless trees and replacing the staging driver. The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver. The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49 kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107 to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26 to zero :) There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we decided to omit for now: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31: WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527: WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms; see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have any big endian hardware to test that right now. We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers. Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are: o HCI over SDIO support o nl80211 testmode o firmware logging o suspend support Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research more. Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support. As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16 and sle32, especially from wmi.h.
