dbanet:
This is a very young technology, and begin to support it right now would be a good step ahead of the curve.

Hi.
I just want to notify that I only have one bid for the "OS2World Common Fund 2014".
bww bitwise works GmbH presented a proposal to use the common fund to kickstart the project, but more funding will be required to complete the project.
I'm open to hear the comments and question of the community.
Please let me know your comments.
Regards.

I understand well that we need too many solutions: for developing, for
uptodate hardware, for everydayuse, based on resources available. We
need solutions at hand, not dreams.
In my opinion, if no news about is coming on, I should pay attention to find out a
way for wireless support.

Hi
I have another bid for using this funds. Pavel Shtemenko proposed an Network/Wifi BSD driver port project.
The idea is to port the Network/Wifi BSD driver.
The basic idea of this project is:
Stage 1 or Bounty 1:
1. Base network driver
2. Ported from FreeBSD some of DevHlp (this part can also be used for BSD Video driver port too (ATI-NVIDIA) in the future)
3. FreeBSD driver (compiled from source)
Goals: PCI RTL816x driver working
Time: 1.5 Months
Cost: USD $ 1.200.
Stage 2 or Bounty 2:
4. Security subsystem
5. Other Wifi adapters ported
6. Suspend/LowPower support (with ACPI 3.18)
Goals:
- Security system,
- other Wifi adapters (Any WiFi driver which FreeBSD 7.x has to support.r like Atheros WiFi , some other one)
- Suspend/Low power supported.
Time: 1 Month
Cost: USD $ 800.
Conditions:
- All source code produced most be open source (BSD license)
- The Common Fund and Bounty Rules apply to it.
- Development will be done in the open at sourceforge or github.
- Source code from IBM's DDK can not be used in the project, since it have a restrictive license that does not allow to share the source code or derivate works.
- The driver most works on Warp 4.52 and eComstation 2.1 with their respective kernels.
- He can not accept Paypal, we are trying to see if we can get another alternative.
- Payment will be done after completing each stage.
The idea of this is making it an open development and the source code will be open source for everyone to use. Since this is an open community and the idea is to have an open conversation about this, please do not send me e-mails in private. Give me you feedback on this forum.
Please state what do you think about this offer.
Regards
