Hi,

As long as madwifi-ng does not support wext, it would be nice if wpa_supplicant would support madwifi-old and madwifi-ng.

I've attached two patches:
15_madwifing_1531_includes.dpatch

This are the includes of madwifi-ng (svn version 1531). All files are licenced under GPLv2 so including them should not be a problem.

16_madwifi_parallel.dpatch

This patch allowes parallel support for madwifi-old and madwifi-ng. This is archieved by compiling driver-madwifi.c twice. One time with the old includes and one time with the ng ones. If the ng headers are used, all functions and variables are renamed from *_madwifi_* to *_madwifing_*.

The resulting wpasupplicant runs fine with madwifi-ng on my notebook.

If you decide to not apply this patches, I would be happy if you could ship them deactivated in the source package.

I would be more than happy to add a deactivated madwifi-ng includes patch or so, but I'd really like to know what upstream thinks of your very interesting patch. Would you consider sending this code to Jouni Malinen on the hostap mailing list?

Thanks, Kel.
