And on other people (paid or volunteer), interested in doing or funding them. Some really interesting stuff has landed in the pending next stable release of openwrt - the virtual time stuff went in, it's rumored there is working mu-mimo! The new mediatek chips look promising. But in all honesty the future is very cloudy to me, and I have no intent (presently) to spin up a branch per se, but to merely get one new feature in (better hardware retries), to try and get on top of a wifi-6 chipset, and work on a new tool (wtbb). If only we could find steady, and significant funding this time around... (this is more of a cerowrt II.000001 effort at this point). I keep hoping more ISPs, and broadcom, in particular, would wake up to their wifi problems. I'd love to see the eeros and the google wifi's of the world working more closely with this community, too. I think (lacking the pending testing) qualcom is in decent shape here, and mediatek may well have leapfrogged them, for all I know. Intel seems to be good, too, but they are not in the AP market. Ignorance, however, is not bliss in my case. I want to *know*. :) Thx, nlnet! --=20 I tried to build a better future, a few times: https://wayforward.archive.org/?site=3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.icei.org Dave T=C3=A4ht CEO, TekLibre, LLC
