Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Brought TODO file in line with current driver state. Moved longer
term TODO items (the ones to be done once this driver
hits mainline) to website. Removed the bugs that have been solved.
Added new TODO items.

To Do List for Broadcom Mac80211 driver

Features to be added
=====================
- 40 MHz channels
- Power Save
- AP
- IBSS
- HW-based encryption
- LED support
- RFKILL
- Debugfs and debugability

Code cleanup
============
- Use proper kernel coding standards
- Remove overlap with system header files. (ie much of include/proto/*.h should
be removed)
- Purge unused variables/data structs/functions BUT keep code related to
features that are being added (ie AP mode, 40 Mhz channels, IBSS etc).
- Replace proprietary utility functions with public kernel versions.
To Do List for Broadcom Mac80211 driver before getting in mainline

Bugs
====
- Various occasional asserts/hangs
- Scanning during data transfer sometimes causes major slowdowns. Sometimes
revcovers when scan is done, other times not.
- Mac80211 API not completely implemented (ie ops_bss_info_changed,
ops_get_stats, etc)

Other
=====
- wlc_mac80211.[ch], wl_mac80211.[ch] and linux_osl.c all need to be refactored
and combined.
- Merge files that are partially duplicated between the softmac and fullmac
drivers
- Replace driver's proprietary ssb interface with generic kernel ssb module
(only used when compiling for SDIO).
- PCI and SDIO support are currently #ifdef'ed exclusive of each other, which
leads to a separate wl.ko for each. This should be changed to runtime
handling of different interfaces so that a single binary driver can be built.
- Add support for new chips (obviously an ongoing item).
- Oops on AMPDU traffic, to be solved by new ucode (currently under test)

brcmfmac and brcmsmac
=====================
- ASSERTS not allowed in mainline, replace by warning + error handling
- Replace printk and WL_ERROR() with proper routines
