TODO list for Marvell 8388 wireless driver
Marcelo Tosatti
- ioctl mess
- 64-bit issues
- proper locking: add a simple global mutex.
- kernel style documentation (Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt)
- collapse command queueing (remove queueing should simplify complexity a lot)
- test individual suspend/resume (CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND)
- multiple rdmac commands from ioctl (wlanconfig) causes driver to detect device as "removed"
- reloading the firmware can crash the machine after power up (reloading code)
David Woodhouse
- #ifdef __KERNEL__ in wlan_scan.h? !!
- lots of typedef struct { ... } foo
- most of them removed, a few remaining (marcelo)
- __attribute__ ((packed)) wlan_ioctl_user_scan_cfg why packet?
- some packed attributes are useless, some are not. We removed some already, need to finish (marcelo)
- and if it's for compatibility with hardware, the u64 should be either __le64 or __be64
Dan Williams
- confused at IsNetworkCompatible() in wlan_scan.c
- Break current SIOC*IWENCODE into SIOC*IWENCODE, SIOC*IWENCODEEXT, SIOC*IWAUTH
- Implement SIOC*IWGENIE
- Make driver do deferred assocation rather than blocking on assoc in WE handlers like SIOCSIWENCODE
