To Do List for Broadcom Mac80211 driver
Features to be added
=====================
- 40 MHz channels
- Power Save
- AP
- IBSS
- HW-based encryption
- LED support
- RFKILL
- Debugfs and debugability
Code cleanup
============
- Use proper kernel coding standards
- Remove overlap with system header files. (ie much of include/proto/*.h should
be removed)
- Purge unused variables/data structs/functions BUT keep code related to
features that are being added (ie AP mode, 40 Mhz channels, IBSS etc).
- Replace proprietary utility functions with public kernel versions.
Bugs
====
- Various occasional asserts/hangs
- Scanning during data transfer sometimes causes major slowdowns. Sometimes
revcovers when scan is done, other times not.
- Mac80211 API not completely implemented (ie ops_bss_info_changed,
ops_get_stats, etc)
Other
=====
- wlc_mac80211.[ch], wl_mac80211.[ch] and linux_osl.c all need to be refactored
and combined.
- Merge files that are partially duplicated between the softmac and fullmac
drivers
- Replace driver's proprietary ssb interface with generic kernel ssb module
(only used when compiling for SDIO).
- PCI and SDIO support are currently #ifdef'ed exclusive of each other, which
leads to a separate wl.ko for each. This should be changed to runtime
handling of different interfaces so that a single binary driver can be built.
- Add support for new chips (obviously an ongoing item).
