I've mentioned this to a few but here it is out to everyone. So as you know we have a lot of work ahead of us for linux wireless development. To help speed this up, we at Winlab, would like to start hosting a testbed for linux wireless development, open to the public. Short term goals would be to start off a couple of nodes for each driver currently under development like bcm43xx, zd1211, rt2x00, ipw3945, ipw2200 and the like, and a provide a set streamlined tests we can use to really put to test the drivers and stacks.
This wouldn't be easy if we didn't have infrastructure but we already do. Our grid consists of 400 nodes with 2 wireless cards each and 3 ethernet ports (one for control) -- http://orbit-lab.org/wiki/Tutorial/Testbed. 90% of our nodes use the atheros 5213 chipset and the rest ipw2200s. We'd like to expand this with the more wireless cards currently being worked on for linux. Right now we have zome zd1211s so we'll start with that (I'll start working on a port to d80211) but will try to accomodate other nodes as we get more wireless cards. We will need some help too though, to streamline the testing. If you have ideas or would like to contribute please let me know. We can purchase wireless cards but if you already have reliable confirmed wireless cards which can be used for putting into the testbed let me know.
