PROFILE
Benjamin Berg
Contributed to the geerlingguy/linux repository by developing and refining wireless networking features and compliance fixes over a two-month period. Focused on enhancing the iwlwifi driver, this work enabled channel survey data collection for ACS scans, improved EOF bit decoding for AMPDU frames, and strengthened test runner reliability by surfacing self-test crashes. In addition, implemented an EHT compatibility update to disable 5/6 GHz operation at 40 MHz channel width, aligning with EHT PHY requirements and improving wireless stability. These changes were delivered using C and Makefile, leveraging expertise in driver development, kernel programming, and embedded systems to improve reliability.
