Hi Jean,
Do you know any common methods to port a Linux driver to a u boot driver? Will you rewrite all the driver codes? Or just make a function mapping?
I think it is terrible to write a wireless network card driver for uboot.
In uboot I need to implement MLME which contains "Authenticate ,Deauthenticate,Associate,Disassociate,Reassociate,Beacon,Probe ". and in Linux driver, the source code packet contains more than 10K lines.
Appreciated if anyone can give me further direction.
Thanks Lance

Hi,
I am going to write a mini-pci driver (GIGABYTE MiniPCI Wireless Adapter: GN-WI01GS) for u-boot(sc520),
Currently, I have Linux driver source code (downloaded from http://web.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html RT61 http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2008_0506_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1 .1.0.1.tar.bz2 ),
Anyone knows how I can port the Linux driver to u-boot driver
Appreciate it if someone can give me some links/hints...
I've work on a similar port for on other Ralink Chip
I will the common wireless port
I've separate the driver in 2 part: 1) the net interface as any other network driver
2) a wireless tools implementation (generic) currently OPEN/WEP and hardware WPA only
3) a wireless implementation for the chip
Best Regards, J.
