Hello,
I have already been reading this mailing list for a while, so I think
now it's time for me to introduce myself and explain a little bit of
what we are doing with WiMAX here at Nokia.
As you probably already know, Nokia has announced the N810 Internet
Tablet WiMAX Edition[1]. This device is based on Linux, so it's clear
that we are also working on a WiMAX implementation for Linux.
Our architecture is different from the open source implementation by
Intel, eg. the API exposed by the kernel driver module is simpler and
hardware-independent.
Basically we have the following components:
* WiMAX driver module (which will probably be open-sourced soon);
* WiMAX Daemon (will probably be open-sourced soon), which contains
basic controls and provides the interface between the driver and the
rest of the user space;
* A proprietary connectivity daemon (ICd) with WiMAX modules that
contains most of the ND&S logic.
At this moment, unfortunately, I cannot reveal much more details, but
you can expect to see some more involvement from us in the near future.
I have already discussed our implementation in more details with Marcel
Holtmann. I think we should start cooperating to implement a generic
WiMAX stack that will become the de-facto implementation for the Linux
kernel! ;)
Cheers,
Luca.
