Thanks, these look great. Is there a recorded talk for these slides?

Unfortunately no. The conference recorded only regular track talks. This was on Tutorial/Training track.

It doesn't look like it. Here's the talk info from the conference: https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa19/presentation/mahesh... Other talks have links to their recordings.

It also doesn't seem to be in the full video playlist from the conference: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbRoZ5Rrl5ldJR-XU4xQx...

Flattr is the name, I think.

Author here, feel free to let me know if anything can be improved about the simulation or the explanation.

For the uninitiated: how long before we can expect the results of this research to be used in mainstream products?

From the abstract: "The implementation has been accepted into the mainline kernel distribution, making it available for deployment on billions of devices running Linux today."

Perhaps you misunderstood my question. How long would it take for routers that run that version of the kernel to be available?

As mangix said, it is not a question of "having this version in router's kernel" because it depends strictly on the kind of chip the hardware uses. Most Wi-Fi chips use their own program which is called "a binary blob", they do not use the Wi-Fi stack of Linux except as a wrapper around their own code, which is not accessible in source, only in binary.

This is why for example in Ubuntu (but also in most other Linux distributions) there are "third party codes" that are "not free".

Frankly that file is just the layout of the board, as in which ints correspond to which squares. I used it at the very start to make sure the pieces where moving correctly, before the code to connect to an interface was written.

Hi, author of the article here! If you have any questions about how GSoC has been so far, feel free to ask here.

Particularly prescient:
