After several month of work to make WLAN a reality for Haiku the deadline finally arrives. Now let's look on the bounty fullfilment criterias and their status:

• WLAN stack compiles error free within Haiku-gcc2 -> complete fulfilled:

• • Compiles 100% errorfree (in regard to Haiku R1/alpha1)

• FreeBSD 7.1 WLAN drivers compile errofree -> partial fulfilled:

• • This one was updated to FreeBSD 8 to get the latest and hottest
  • 5 out of 10 drivers compile errorfree (1 is working fully -> atheros)
    • I'm not publishing the other 4 by intent. Because error free compilation doesn't mean that there is a driver binary at the end. It only means, that the compatibility layer provides function. And I don't wanne rise expectations that those 4 drivers are working ones.

• At least 90 % of the testers passed testcriterias -> dropped

• • I never published any criterias, so who could verify them now?

• Configuration tools are working in respect to my testenvironment -> partial fulfilled:

• • Haiku's builtin tools (Network Preflet, NetworkStatus Applet, ifconfig) are fully supported
  • WLAN specifc tools is missing

• Atheros driver is working in respect to the testenvironment -> complete fulfilled

So what about the bounty now? Well due to only partial fulfilment the payment will be split up and will be bound to further sub goals.

• 
  The first 1/3 of the bounty, was received today for completely fulfilling 2 criterias, at least. Thanks to all donators!!!

• The second payment will be for implementing a WLAN specific configuration tool till November, 15 th, 2009
  
  This config tool must provide the ability to
  • Show and scan available WLANs (show means presenting the name of the WLAN)
  • Select and Join a specific WLAN (important when there are several open WLANs around)

• The third payment will be for making the last 5 WLAN drivers compile till December, 15 th, 2009
  
  Including following drivers:
  • an: Aironet Communications 4500/4800
  • iwi: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG
  • ral: Ralink Technology RT2500/RT2501/RT2600
  • wi: Lucent Hermes & Intersil PRISM-II/PRISM-2.5/Prism-3
  • wpi: Intel 3945ABG

This will ensure progress towards implementing WLAN for Haiku. I think this splitting is in the best interest of all, especially of those who donated money to the bounty. Thank you!!!.
