Thanks for posting this!

Is there a roadmap to the driver? 

I have a few questions -- I haven't been able to go over the whole driver, so 
please bear with me:

- where do you guys implement the supplicant? if you put everything below the 
kernel, it will be needed there?

- how do you manage OMA-DM interaction with the networks to get the 
provisioning information from the networks? This cannot be put in kernel 
space and still is needed.

- Why do you need an OSAL?
