| IEEE 802.11 (commonly referred to as "WiFi") is a popular standard for 802-compatible wireless networking. The goal of this thesis is to implement a native HelenOS driver for a 802.11-compliant device, specifically Atheros AR9271 chipset, which was chosen as the suitable candidate with open specification and good availability. The driver runs in user space and provides a networking interface usable with the HelenOS networking stack. Functionality that is 802.11-generic (i.e. not specific for a concrete device) is packaged as a library to allow reuse for future drivers.
The analysis of different possibilites of incorporating the driver in the current architecture of HelenOS as well as the comparsion of resulting implementation with existing open source drivers in other operating systems is an inherent part of the thesis. The device driver is also accompanied by a simple utility for managing authentication with WiFi access points. |
