Still quite a long way to go, but it's something. This patch stack is againt Linus' vanilla + Viro's big iomap cleanup patch, as requested. The first 9 patches make only trivial or cosmetic behavioural changes: 1/14 orinoco-carrier Use netif_carrier_*() macros instead of homegrown 'connected' variable. 2/14 orinoco-printks Update various printk()s and other cosmetic strings 3/14 orinoco-delays Use mdelay() and ssleep() instead of outdated ways of delaying. 4/14 orinoco-free-orinocodev Introduce free_orinocodev() function, to reduce noise in future diffs. 5/14 orinoco-cleanup-hermes Assorted cleanups to low-level hardware access code 6/14 orinoco-pci-updates Cleanup to initialization code for the PCI based orinoco devices. 7/14 orinoco-modparm Use modern module_parm macros for orinoco module. 8/14 orinoco-pccard-cleanups Cleanup to PCMCIA initialization code 9/14 orinoco-void-ethersnap Trivial change to is_ethersnap() function to reduce future diff noise. The next 4 patches start to intoduce real new functionality and bug fixes: 10/14 orinoco-no-ibss-any Disallow IBSS mode if no ESSID is set (too many firmwares break, otherwise) 11/14 orinoco-late-tx-wake Delay waking the Tx queue, fixes problems on a number of firwmares 12/14 orinoco-wep-updates Various updates to WEP setup code 13/14 orinoco-update-firmware-detection Updates and bugfixes to firmware detection logic And the final one, is another trivial one: 14/14 orinoco-is-now-0.14alpha2 Update version and changelog to reflect the above patches. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist.
