ath5k antenna control patch

ath5k antenna control patch

[Hans Maes]

Hello,

Could somebody tell me if there is any reason why the patch implementing 
the ath5k antenna control doesn't seem to be committed yet ?

The original patch : 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=123984229722724&w=4
The revised version : 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124112144817141&w=4

I've been trying to patch the sources myself, seems to have worked ok 
and even compiled successfully but I'm lacking some knowledge on how to 
now 'properly' test or deploy this newly compiled version of the ath5k 
module to some wireless mesh nodes.

I could probably get it working if I could just use compat-wireless and 
follow the manual, but I don't think the patch has made it there yet.

Regards,

Hans

You are looking in the wrong place?  The revised version is in both
wireless-testing and wireless-next-2.6.  It should be in 2.6.31 when
that is available.
