In addition to this, we are working on a kernel level API that would work at WiMAX NAP level -- the proposal is here: http://linuxwimax.org/pipermail/wimax/2008-December/000300.html The idea is that that API is provided by the kernel (accessible as commands / signals marshalled over generic netlink) and the driver implements the backend of them, the WiMAX stack doing as much of the common heavy lifting as possible. Devices that expose a basestation-level or Network Access Provider level interface can use that. I haven't heard yet of any devices that work at the NSP level without host aid. Would this interface work for your device? -- Inaky _______________________________________________ wimax mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxwimax.org/mailman/listinfo/wimax
