new to hostap questions

[cory]

I saw that article you referenced in the archives.  Is there anything I 
can do to help?  I'm a fairly technical person and I've done 
developement work in the past; however, this would be my first driver 
developement effort and my unix developement consists of re-compiling 
the kernel, and makeing minor syntax fixing changes to other people's 
code.  I'd be willing to help in any way I can, like running beta code 
etc. on my DWL-122 USB card.

This article 
http://airsnarf.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2003-December/004987.html 
mentions looking at the linux-wlan driver for a starting point.  I've 
spent a little time over the last couple of days looking at that.  
Essentially the code is all in prism2sta.c and both prism2_pci.c and 
prism2_usb.c include it.  prism2_pci.c defines "WLAN_PCI" and includes 
"hfa384x.c" where as prism2_usb.c defines "WLAN_USB" and includes 
"hfa384x_usb.c".  That's all the further I've got in the limited time 
I've spent looking at it.

Thanks,
