RE: UWB, WUSB, and WLP subsystems for 2.6.28

[Law Sie Yong]

Hi David,

  As i look through the WUSB linux code, i couldnt seem to locate the code that append the UWB MAC layer header to the data frame of WUSB, or i might have missed it. To send out the WUSB data frame, does the code is expected to append the MAC header that indicate the EUI of dest and src, so the WUSB data frame can be sent correctly to the receiver, in this case dest EUI will be the HUB? Dlink DUB1210 spec said that its compliance to  MAC 1.0 which i believe the MAC header should contains the dest and src EUI for the data frame.

The WUSB hub (DWA) won't do anything useful because there's no DWA
driver.  However, you should be able to authenticate and enumerate it.

Could you expand on the error messages?  It may be useful to build the
driver with additional debugging.
