pull request: wireless-2.6 2008-08-04

[John W. Linville]

Dave,

Another big round of fixes for 2.6.27.  Included is also a renaming
patch and some related patches that rename iwl4965 to iwlagn (reflecting
that is supports iwl5000 as well).

The other big(ger) thing here is the new ath9k driver.  It is probably
still far from perfect, but I'm hearing good reports on its
functionality and the Atheros team (and others) have already been quite
responsive on comments, etc.  I think it is best to go ahead and get it
into 2.6.27.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John

have these two changes got reviewed on LKML? I don't see any ACKs for it
in the commit message.

Hmmm...no.  I thought the original patches had been copied to
linux-kernel, but it looks like that is not the case.

The original patches are archived here:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=121783421908441&w=2

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=121783422008445&w=2

What problems do you see with them?

I don't see a problem with these patches, but they should at least be
reviewed on LKML once. Changes to core kernel infrastructure should not
be merged silently via subsystem trees without any kind of ACKs.

Yes, fine.  That wasn't my intent. :-)  The patches were originally
posted about two weeks ago, too bad that didn't actually go to
linux-kernel. :-(

just post them to LKML (or let Luis do it) so they get reviewed. I
really don't see an issue with them, but that is only me.

Sure, np.  I created a "no-ath9k" branch in case you are feeling
frisky -- it is the same except for omitting the list.h changes,
the ath5k pci table change, and the new ath9k driver.

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git no-ath9k

Hth!

You can keep the ath5k PCI table change.  Those devices are not  
supported by ath5k and not going to be supported, especially since  
ath9k supports them.  They are not even listed on  
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers

The patch should go upstream quickly, so that potential ath9k users  
don't have to blacklist ath5k.

Thanks John.

Due to the powerpc build failures the list.h stuff causes, I'm going
to pull this so I can do a push to Linus tonight.

Although I highly encourare you to get that list.h stuff sorted out
because I'd really like to see ath9k get merged in as that's a useful
device to support for a lot of users.

It was a sparc64 defconfig that failed due to the list.h changes.  The
powerpc build only failed when I added an include of <linux/bug.h> to
list.h.

The powerpc compiler got an internal error trying to compile the ath9k
code - but I don't know if there is anything we can to do to the source
to work around that.

FWIW I fixed-up the wireless-2.6 tree to reflect what davem pulled -- a
noop, but at least those patches shouldn't pollute -next tomorrow. :-)

Thanks.  Every bit helps.  I am hoping my toolchain guy can come up with
a workaround for us.  And you guys can figure out the list.h thing.
