Hi,
Kernels based on linux.inc (as all kernels should be in an ideal world)
as well as kernels based on linux-rp.inc now have a switch to turn off
OABI compat:
ARM_KEEP_OABI = "0"
The default is "1", so there's no change unless your distro sets it to
"1" (as angstrom does).
Enjoy the new legacy free kernels :)
regards,
Koen

Slightly related: atheros released their HAL as opensource, so madwifi
doesn't need the blob and associated whackelf horrors anymore :)

To be more exact - Atheros released other HAL as opensource.
This is what madwifi has to say about it:
"It might be worth to mention that the HAL Atheros has released the
source for differs from the HAL versions we use in MadWifi, and thus
is no drop-in replacement. In theory it should be possible to
integrate the HAL and thus make MadWifi a fully open-source driver. "
