[Voyage-linux] 802.11s in kernel

[David Gascón]

Hi all!
with the recently 802.11s module added to the kernel now comes time of
research and efforts to see how it is going to work with the rest of the
system.
The protocol uses layer 2 to create all the radio metrics and the state
and quality of the nodes in the network. On the layer 3 the HWMP
protocol (based on RM-AODV) will be the one used to keep the metrics and
WLAN information updated from the MAC layer.
I am sure the kernel will make its best on Voyage as usual, the problems
come when seeing if the wifi drivers are ready for features like  multi
frequency and high accurate radio metrics. (It is gonna be a hard way,
however It just a matter of time to get it working).

I will start working on it as soon as I can. If any of you are going to
start with it too just tell me to join efforts.

regards.

David.
