Very cool! Is it likely that d80211 and iwlwifi will be pushed into mainline in time for 2.6.21?Hmmm...I think we need to spend a cycle or so in -mm. 2.6.22 seems more likely for mainline.
I think we should take this as a goal. Last time I checked, d80211 wasn't in -mm. Perhaps it should go there. And by the way, the latest changes from netdev->class_dev to netdev->dev break d80211. Perhaps we should rebase wireless-dev immediately after 2.6.21-rc1, fix all compile issues and submit the patch to -mm. And iwlwifi is surprisingly good for a just announced driver. It worked for me from the first attempt, and that's the first d80211 driver to do so. In my opinion, it should go to wireless-dev as soon as possible so it can go to -mm toghether with other drivers. A couple of wrinkles in the standalone build system are irrelevant to the kernel interation. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
