Hello, We are working on a new TDMA MAC protocol for wireless
networks and I am interested in possibly integrating this in to RTnet. We
had been planning on using Atheros (madwifi) drivers, but I noticed that
someone has done initial work on Ralink. Does the Ralink driver work with the 802.11a chipset (rt2561),
such as the Sparklan WMIR-168AG? The code looks only b/g. I would be interested in hearing any comments on how well
the Ralink driver works. If anyone has looked at a possible port of
the Atheros (madwifi-ng) driver, I would appreciate any comments on the feasibility
of that. Also, is there anything else besides the README.drvporting
that would help get me up to speed on what it takes to integrate a driver to
RTnet? We currently use GPS PPS for timesync and have msec slots synchronized
pretty well, though we will be switching to a distributed on-the-air protocol
eventually. We also have a distributed time slot election scheme for
dynamic TDMA schedules over multi-hop networks. What we do not have yet
is a NIC driver synchronized to our slot boundaries, which is what I am now
starting to work on. Thanks, Marc Mosko |
