Orinoco Driver

I wrote a new driver for Lucent/Cabletron and some PrismII IEEE802.11 wireless cards, designed to replace wvlan_cs. It cleans up some ugliness in that driver. It's over here, and has also been included in Linux 2.4.3.

Old projects:

I wrote esky a process checkpointing system that works under Solaris and Linux. Unlike most checkpointers, it uses no assembler, so it is portable between different CPUs.

In 2001, I worked on an electronic voting and counting system to be used in the 2001 ACT elections.

I'm also did some initial work on libkbl with Alex Smola. It's a C library for working with support vector machines and other kernel-based learning machines (that's mathematical kernels, not OS kernels).
