WINLAB MadWifi

Madwifi is a Linux kernel driver for Wireless LAN chipsets from Atheros. The Wiki pages create here are used to store extensive knowledge about Madwifi driver and new feature developments for WINLAB developpers.The official MadWifi website has very limited useful information for new developments. This is a good starting point to learn, share and practise new implementations which could enhance MAC, PHY/Radio and other cross-layer wireless research projects of WINLAB.
