    Are there any books on WiFi programming in Linux ? Im finding it REAL hard to fathom anything from Jouni Malinen's HostAP driver ! This dude has written code that only he can understand. There's almost no documentation in the c/h files. I know some of you might think im heading towards hell trying to understand a device driver code, but i intend to grasp the concepts of wifi modules and their attachment to the kernel. And for those who know what im talking about , would there be any way to write this kind of code ( HostAP) in .NET for windows ? Thanks

          Linux drivers are often messy because they are less scrutinized by other people. You don't get core kernel code past Linus if it's complete trash. Drivers are different. [edit]I.e., I'm not surprised you found code which is hard to follow :)[/edit] -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.
