alt Hacker NewsI'm excited because of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin..., which is the first kernel driver to use the new Wi-Fi HaLow (s1g/900MHz Wi-Fi) support.

Oh this is incredible.. HaLow has been one of my favorite new wireless tech implementations, and I feel almost like a preacher with how much I have been pushing the gospel to the people around me for the last ~2 years. being introduced into the kernel should really help integration and usage. I am just hoping chips start being produced by more than one (?) company eventually for more market capture. Any thoughts on that front?

Now we just need hostapd and wpa_supplicant support? (Minus the things missing from the driver.)
Kinda sad that there are so many thousands of lines of code here, yet at its core this is much the same as any other WiFi device.
Surely some code reuse would have been possible? Especially when the same team who write the driver are also making the firmware
