I may have more specific comments about the patch itself later, but now I really need to get caught-up on some other merging. I just wanted to ensure that you knew I was not (completely) ignoring your efforts! :-)
Great - I have checked out the whole git of wireless-testing a few days ago and will try to find some time to track down how some of the recent changes elsewhere broke, and do some of the stuff 'properly'.
I have been using this patch on my Level 1 WNC-0301USB device. There are still problems with the TX code as it can associate only about 1 try in 10, but RX seems to be fine. I have been too busy to sort out the problems, but I have fixed the patch to get rid of checkpatch warnings and errors, which includes the "Signed-off-by" lines. Would you like me to send the updated version to you, or should I send it to linux-wireless and John?
Both and/or attaching to the redhat bugzilla :-). (have as many people seeing/testing...) There is a newer vendor driver out from the one Herton based on, so that might fix something; also the control queue switching I mentioned in the my forward port effort may have something to do with that. Cheers, and looking forward to moving this forward :-). Hin-Tak
