[Phil Nelson <phil%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

The NetBSD Foundation is pleased to announce a summer 2018 contract
with Philip Nelson (phil%NetBSD.org@localhost) to update the IEEE 802.11 stack
basing the update on the FreeBSD current code.  The goals of the
project are:

   -- Minimizing the differences between the FreeBSD and
      NetBSD IEEE 802.11 stack so future updates are easier.

   -- Adding support for the newer protocols 801.11/N and 802.11/AC.

   -- Improving SMP support in the IEEE 802.11 stack.

   -- Adding Virtual Access Point (VAP) support.

   -- Updating as many NIC drivers as time permits for the updated
      IEEE 802.11 stack and VAP changes.

Status reports will be posted to tech-net%NetBSD.org@localhost every other week
while the contract is active.
