Where is allow-ap-vlan-modes.patch ?

Where is allow-ap-vlan-modes.patch ?

[David Shwatrz]

Hello,

I have a question:
Why was the allow-ap-vlan-modes.patch removed from
http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/patches/kernel/all/LATEST/?

I see that it was there until recently (to be accurate,
30.10.08 was the last time it was there).

I do not see that it was applied; I have the latest git tree of
wireless-2.6 and wireless-next-2.6

Could it be that it was omitted as a result of some error ?


(This patch is mentioned for example, in
/Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/README,
as you probably know)


Rgs,
DS

It is currently present in the wireless-testing git tree.

Yes, I can verify that. I have AP mode working in b43 using latest
hostapd from git and wireless-testing.

Hello,
  Thanks. I got the testing git tree; it is indeed there (though in a
bit different form; the method in  net/mac80211/cfg.c is called
nl80211_type_check() and not nl80211_type_to_mac80211_type() as in the
patch from
 allow-ap-vlan-modes.patch (2008-06-12). But it allows master mode for AP.

In this occasion may I ask - what is the wireless-testing git tree?
is it based on wireless-next-2.6 or on wireless-2.6 tree?

Regards,
DS

It's based on Linus' rc releases and has all the wireless patches
which have been under development. I think John cherry picks the
patches from wireless-testing to wireless-2.6 or wireless-next-2.6. So
wireless-testing contains the bleeding edge wireless patches and if
John thinks they are good enough, he submits them forward.

Please correct me if I have understood something wrong.

That is basically right.

In the past patches often went to wireless-testing and to
wireless-next-2.6/wireless-2.6 at the about the same time.  However
upstream standards have tightened in ways that make me feel it is
appropriate to give patches more public testing even before sending
them for -next.

In this case, I was also sick all last week which has slowed thing
a bit more...

Thanks,

John

Hello,
First, I hope you feel better soon.

Second:
Looking at the patches at the mailing list, I do not see
that anywhere it says against which git tree they were made.
It could be : wireless-next-2.6,wireless-2.6, and wireless-testing.

I guess that there are many cases in which a patch can be applied to
two of these trees (or maybe all three of them),
whereas there are times in which it can be applied to only one git tree.

How is it determined to which tree the patches should be
applied ?

I ask for people to send patches against wireless-testing in general.

The target tree used to be wireless-2.6's "everything" branch. There
was a lot of confusion over people mistakenly pulling "master" instead
of "everything" ("master" is the default), so the "everything" branch
was replaced by a separate repo, wireless-testing.
