Sorry, that was my bad. I thought that the Devicescape code found its way to the kernel (didn't follow the discussion some months ago too closely). Although I think there probably are better alternatives to the 802.11 stack that is in the kernel right now, having a central 802.11 stack at all is a great improvement that should be used where possible. > Encouraging otherwise hinders continued wireless progress under Linux. That depends. If the encouraging is about an alternative, more complete and superior 802.11 stack for Linux which could be integrated with less effort than extending the existing code, that should be worth to talk about. Please note that I'm not refering here to any of the related suggestions which have been made during the past months - it's a general statement.
