* porting to other Unix'es and platforms (ALWAYS)
* support new AP's (ALWAYS)
-* (maybe): move S_DEFCHAN message up to screen beginning in set_oeminfo.c
+* try to implement an ap-dfu utility [already scheduled for next release!]
+ - ap-dfu, ap-dfu.8 (internal developer's notes):
+ - what DFU really stands for (and that ap-dfu contains some extra
+ Atmel-specific functionality)
+ - only for ATMEL AT76C510-based hardware
+ - *hci stuff - at least on Linux (prerequisities)
+ - PIDs and VIDs for INTERSIL & RFMD based boards.
+ If the AP does not present itself with PID & VID in kernel
+ ring buffer (use dmesg for displaying) after it has been plugged
+ to USB interface, it means that the flash content is apparently
+ damaged and AP dead (the only solution in such case is to return
+ AP to the reseller for replacement).
+ - mandate user to read ap-tftp.8 warning sections first!
+ - it is safe (?) if AP experiences power outtage during upgrade, or
+ if ap-dfu bails out with error due to USB interface inconsistency.
+ In such case, it is safe to start ap-dfu again, and it will continue
+ where it left off - typically, when the AP is stuck in DFU mode with
+ steady LEDs light.
+* (WA* firmware support?): get_mib_details(): rename to get_fw_details(); add
+ FW (AP, WA) type detection (fw_type); rename ap_type to fw_eprises;
+ rename ap_vendorext to fw_vendorext; enterprises should be named
+ 410, 12350, NWN (strip down length)
+* make the screen appearance of deletion order same as for MAC auth. list
+* implement 'Insert' function for places where item lists are used (MAC
+ auth. list, list of APs from ~/.ap-config)
* add S Search key in get_opts that would allow - instead of connecting -
searching for APs first
-
-* implement displaying of 'NetworkSettings' OID structure in place of
- 'Stations' submenu, if the target AP using VERNET ATMEL12350 MIB
- is in STA mode. This would finally bring us client-mode diagnostics
- (client-side RSSI and wireless connection status), that has been
- been missing so badly for a long time (for other ATMEL12350 MIBs
- and ATMEL410 non-SB MIBs, it will apparently stay missing forever,
- unfortunately)
+* WISHLIST (and very unlikely this will happen): assemble JTAG interface
+ documentation (and try to implement ap-jflash utility as last-resort flash
+ for APs with 'dead' flash memory content)
+* try to assemble table of configuration value names & corresponding offsets
+ in *.cfg (default conf.) files (may be different among different firmwares!)
* switch the 'Status' field in 'Stations' from numeric to verbose representation
-* add 802.1X support for ATMEL12350 APs
* patch test.c so that it works with ATMEL12350 devices
-* update src/ap-gl.c to reflect changes made in src/stations.c during 1.4.1pre*
- transition
* try to not rely on actually configured subnet information on each
network interface in ap scan
* implement rssi view toggling for nwn_stations()
* update manpages
-* increase/disable knownAPs limit
+* increase/disable KnownAPs limit
* use iptraf like ethernet.desc file to store stations description
* add per client LQ and RSSI stats to ap-mrtg
+* add man page for ap-rrd
