| Hi Everyone,
|
|      Can someone tell me where to check out the kernel source tree and
| AR6000 802.11g drivers.  I used the phone to set up an ad-hoc network
| with a X61 laptop. The ad hoc network is rarely set up, and even if it
| is set up, ping operations from each other will break in the middle
| anytime.  I saw that some older readme document  (up to 2005) says the
| support of original Atheros Wireless LAN driver to ad-hoc mode is very
| unreliable. I doubt if the driver of the openmokos has the same problem.

I wouldn't automatically assume that we are doing better.  AR6001 from
us goes out with unchanged Atheros firmware for it AFAIK.  There are a
fair few Trac entries about shakiness from it.  With the closed
firmware, we can't do much about that, and the driver stack is pretty scary.

Clone this

http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=stable

and you will find the non-mainline Atheros SDIO stack and driver for
AR6001 that we use.
