released libnfnetlink, libnfnetlink_conntrack and conntrack

This triple-release is in anticipation of a 2.6.14 kernel release. The two libs as well as the conntrack program are userspace counterparts to the "next generation" subsystems inside the kernel netfilter part.

The release involved lots of painful learning-by-doing of autoconf/automake. I'm not a fan of them at all, but I sill think it's less burden than trying to invent everything on your own (like we did with the iptables package) and thus forcing more burden onto the package maintainers of the distributions.

I'll probably release libnfnetlink_log and libnfnetlink_queue tomorrow... but I really don't have any time to work on netfilter at the moment, despite this TODO list :(.

Some bits of ath-driver hacking

This morning I wanted to do something relaxing, so I looked at the ath-driver source code that I'm no hosting for Mateusz at ath-driver.org.

After some hours of digging (and trying to implement channel switching support), I decided that the whole approach of yet-another-driver seems deemed.

If I find some time for Atheros driver hacking, I'll build a Linux driver around the ar5k OpenBSD driver (yes, it will be dual BS/gpl licensed). It's just not worth the pain of re-implementing the HAL functionality for 5210, 5211 and 5212 from scratch...
