FAQ: native (net80211) vs. LinuxKPI (only) for new bits?

Hi,

a question which came up a few times now (and was always proxied to me
instead of being asked here) is whether only LinuxKPI based drivers will
support newer standards (such as 11ac and beyond)?

For what I personally can say:
- my plan was and is to keep net80211 driving wireless and be our wireless stack.
   That means the general standard work would go into net80211.
- LinuxKPI is and will stay a compat layer converting between the two worlds.

This means that a native driver could also make use of current and
future development, support for newer standards, etc. as they arive in
net80211.


Hope that clarifies that question?

Lots of health,
Bjoern
