I just read about the project proposal in the Wiki and have seen that Martin added a link to the 11a receiver that we implemented in Innsbruck. If you base our work on that project, of course, I would be happy to help you as good as I can! Best, Bastian – Dipl.-Inform. Bastian B.

Hi Marco, please read the GSoC-related email I just sent out. Also, don’t format your emails as a reply, that makes them harder to read.
