extending WiMAX network service to other chipsets

[Yakovenko Oleg]

Donald,

Thank you for the question. It is supposed to be not so difficult to add a new wimax device to the stack. I would kindly suggest you to read this thread: http://lists.linuxwimax.org/pipermail/wimax/2009-September/000509.html 

What chipset are you thinking of adding to the wimax stack?  Do you have the specification?

Thanks,
Oleg.

Hi all,

    I wonder if how much effort would it be to extend the current WiMAX network service and APIs to support another chipset in which the message structures and protocols and totally different? Are the various Agents (NDnS, Supplicant, etc) use a chipset-agnostic message or it is specifically bound with the Intel-specific messages?

Thanks
Donald
