Ithamar Adema (Colacoder) recently added a new project to OsDrawer – with the goal of creating a working WiFi stack for Haiku. Ithamar is using code from FreeBSD as a starting point, he has also put out a request who can help with the development.

It’s great to see some progress made on bringing WiFi support to Haiku – it’s also listed as a potential project for the 2009 Summer of Code. While BeOS has had good support for wired networking for some time now, wireless networking has become essential to most laptop and “netbook” users.

The news was first spotted by DaaT at IsComputerOn and Karl over at HaikuWare – Karl also pointed out that there is HaikuWare bounty for wireless support.
