PROFILE
Benjamin Berg
Benjamin Berg contributed to the geerlingguy/linux repository by enhancing wireless driver reliability and compliance. He developed channel survey data collection for ACS scans in the iwlwifi driver, enabling passive scan statistics and improving telemetry for wireless diagnostics. Using C and kernel development skills, he fixed EOF bit decoding for AMPDU frames in the MLD path, which improved frame monitoring accuracy. Benjamin also improved test runner reliability by ensuring self-tests correctly report crashes. In August, he addressed EHT compatibility by disabling EHT on 5/6 GHz bands at 40 MHz channel width, aligning with EHT PHY requirements and improving wireless stability.
