Convert a Wi-Fi driver to the new Wi-Fi stack (175h)
The NetBSD Wi-Fi stack is being reworked to support newer protocols, higher speeds, and fine-grained locking using code from FreeBSD. As part of this work, all existing NetBSD Wi-Fi drivers need to be reworked to the new Wi-Fi code base.
Successful completion of this project requires you to have access to hardware that is already supported by NetBSD but not yet converted. See the ?Driver state matrix for a list of devices to convert. Many older devices can be found cheap on sites like eBay.
When applying for this project, please note which driver(s) you want to convert.
