<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would like to use iw-0.9.22 in combination with cfg80211, libnl and Linux kernel 2.6.37-4.</div>
<div>I noticed that cfg80211 is part of the Linux kernel distribution 2.6.37-4.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Q1: Can I use the latest libnl-3.0 in combination with the software mentioned above ?</div>
<div> Or do I have to apply an earlier version ? If so, which version will fit best ?<br><br>ANS: Yes, you should be able to do it.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Q2: I understand that nl80211 and cfg80211 are intended to replace Wireless-Extensions.</div>
<div> Do is the additional value of nl80211 ? Will cfg80211 be sufficient for setup and configuration ?</div>
<div><br>ANS: Yes, iw is degined to communicate with wireless driver using nl80211/cfg80211 and wireless stack. <br><br></div>
<div>Q3: I suspect that libnl should be implemented as user kernel module in kernel space.</div>
<div> Is this assumption correct ?</div>
<div><br> ANS: Actually, libnl is used for user space and kernel space.<br><br></div>
<div>Q4: Are there any other issues, which should be taken in mind for achieving a succesful implementation ?</div>
<div><br>ANS: You use it and tell us what you find out.<br> <br></div>
<div>My hardware platform: </div>
<div>PetaLinux v2.1 (embedded Linux 2.6.37-4 for a MicroBlaze softcore processor on a FPGA)</div>
<div> <br></div>
<div>Hope you can help me with these questions,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thx and best regards,</div>
