+===== mac80211 issues =====
+This page lists the issues blocking zd1211rw moving to the mac80211 stack. Some of these may already be resolved, they just need to be checked.
+==== TX disabling ====
+In the softmac driver, we temporarily disable TX while updating preamble mode and basic rates. This is not possible to do in mac80211 at the moment.
+==== Basic rates handling ====
+In the softmac driver, we program the basic rates for RTS/CTS based on the association info. Need a similar system in mac80211.
+==== Detailed error statistics ====
+Ulrich has greatly improved the zd1211rw 802.11 error statistics. This code needs moving over to the mac80211 driver after figuring out how mac80211 does this.
+  * [[http://dsd.object4.net/git/?p=zd1211.git;a=commitdiff;h=2c1784a975f39b49037358b061d4f94ed9ffcac2|Detailed error statistics]]
+==== Testing on ARM and SPARC64 ====
+We have happy ARM and SPARC64 users. To my knowledge, mac80211 has not been tested there.
+    * However, we do test on powerpc and x86 so there's unlikely to be problems. Also, who's going to test mac80211 without a driver? IMHO this is a requirement that can't be solved. -- [[JohannesBerg|JohannesBerg]]
