The goal of the linux-wlan(tm)project is to develop a complete, standards based, wireless LAN system using the GNU/Linux operating system including a Linux device driver for IEEE 802.11 wirless network cards, access point and portal software and user mode utility software. What differentiates this project from the Linux wireless extensions and other Linux wireless projects is that we base our development on the 1997 approved IEEE 802.11 standard. Many components of the project are completed and progress continues towards meeting all the goals of this project. This project marked the beginning of many software projects for wireless LAN technology for our company. Since the development of our first Linux WLAN device driver for this project, we have written various custom drivers for embedded applications and other operating systems.
