Colin writes up a summary of his work on Haiku's Wifi Stack and our bounty's guidelines in his blog. He also talks about the future of the project, and the possibility of support for encrypted networks within a year :)
Colin went beyond the bounty's guidelines. He finished it early, and not only made all the drivers compile, but execute as well. The following is a list of all the drivers supported:
- aironetwifi supporting at least
- Cisco Aironet 350 Series
- Aironet PCI4500
- Aironet PCI4800
- atheroswifi supporting almost every chipset outthere (though no AR9285 chips)

An interesting read...
Also, he has submitted an easy to install Intel (1000, 5000 & 6000 series) wireless driver with firmware here (no encryption).
On be half of the Haiku community, and bounty program, I'd like to thank Colin for his work, timely and fulfilled execution of the bounty, and general professionalism. It was a pleasure seeing this follow through.
Thanks!
