Hi,
 
I would like to use iw-0.9.22 in combination with cfg80211, libnl and Linux kernel 2.6.37-4.
I noticed that cfg80211 is part of the Linux kernel distribution 2.6.37-4.
 
Q1: Can I use the latest libnl-3.0  in combination with the software mentioned above ?
      Or do I have to apply an earlier version ? If so, which version will fit best ?

ANS: Yes, you should be able to do it.

 
Q2: I understand that nl80211 and cfg80211 are intended to replace Wireless-Extensions.
      Do is the additional value of nl80211 ? Will cfg80211 be sufficient for setup and configuration ?

ANS: Yes, iw is degined to communicate with wireless driver using nl80211/cfg80211 and wireless stack. 


Q3: I suspect that libnl should be implemented as user kernel module in kernel space.
      Is this assumption correct ?

 ANS: Actually, libnl is used for user space and kernel space.


Q4: Are there any other issues, which should be taken in mind  for achieving a succesful implementation ?

ANS: You use it and tell us what you find out.
 

My hardware platform: 
PetaLinux v2.1 (embedded Linux 2.6.37-4 for a MicroBlaze softcore processor on a FPGA)

  

Hope you can help me with these questions,
 
Thx and best regards,
 
Chen
