Yes, indeed. As far as I can tell, the main issue is in Beacon frames
not being sent out. Many of my clients don't really care about that
(well, as long as they are not going to use power save mode), so they
can already associate with WPA using bcm43xx as the AP.

Prism2 driver for Devicescape 802.11 stack (AP and fullmac STA)

2006-04-09 Thread Jouni Malinen
I've started creating a new Prism2/2.5/3 driver for the Devicescape
802.11 stack based on the Host AP driver. This allows access point mode
to be tested with the current net/d80211 code in wireless-dev.git
(requires hostapd snapshot from the development branch) and eventually,
will be an example on how fullmac-type of client implementation (MLME in
firmware/hardware) can be implemented.

My changes are available for preview from
http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/testing/jkm-wireless-dev-patches.tar.gz
(this is a tarball of quilt 'patches' directory for wireless-dev.git).
The current version seems to allow WPA2-PSK/CCMP to be used in AP mode
at least with PC Cards (prism3_cs.ko). I have not yet tested other
hardware versions. In addition, some of the features (e.g., firmware
download) are not yet enabled in this version. The client mode is not
yet complete, but d80211_fullmac_client.diff shows what type of changes
are needed to support fullmac design.
