[Commotion-dev] GNU 30 Hackday Commotion Security Tasks

I'm not sure what areas of interest and expertise will be represented
at this event, but if there's even a small amount of representation
from hardware/driver coders, it would be spectacular to get some
people working on more universal support for the nl80211 kernel-driver
interface.  Support for the nl80211 interface is a hard prerequisite
for IBSS-RSN encryption, but there are nevertheless quite a few driver
families that have no support for nl80211.  In particular, virtually
none of the broadcom wireless chipsets support this interface, and
hence very few products that rely on broadcom chipsets can currently
contribute to a properly-secured mesh network.

Just my two cents,
Jordan
