That depends on your needs. > The number of patches makes me think the dscape code is more feature > complete and further along? The number of patches does not say anything here. Many of the bcm43xx-d80211 patches here are very small. And the two branches were not completely in sync, last time I requested a pull. But that was expected. > (What is the functional difference between the softmac and dscape > versions?) I don't remember all of the functional advantages of d80211, but there is the partially working RTS/CTS support, now. This is not working in the softmac branch, yet. (But shouldn't be too hard to implement, though). There is more advanced encryption support (as far as I know). There is the _potential_ for AP mode support. I did not try AP mode, yet, but I think there is not much missing. Someone continue the list. :) -- Greetings Michael.
