Before the world ended Linus decided to release v2.6.39 and now that the show is not over we get to enjoy it. So we get the respective backport of the 802.11 / BT / Ethernet drivers and subsystems available to users on older kernels. The short and sweet details: Vanilla release: http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.39/compat-wireless-2.6.39-1.tar.bz2 The "-sn" release (pending-stable and linux-next-cherry-picks patches applied): http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.39/compat-wireless-2.6.39-1-sn.tar.bz2 The all the details: http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.39/ChangeLog-2.6.39-wireless Below just the compat.git and compat-wireless.git updates, to see the respective kernel updates check the ChangeLog above. I've tested this release with iwlagn on 2.6.38. Please report any issues. =============================================== ChangeLog for compat-wireless for linux-2.6.39 =============================================== This is the ChangeLog for the Linux kernel project compat-wireless. It provides a backport of a few Linux kernel subsystems down to older kernels: * 802.11 * Bluetooth * Ethernet For more details refer to the home page: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/ The compat-wireless project consists of code from three projects: * The Linux kernel: linux-2.6-allstable.git * Compat-wirelesS: compat-wireless.git * Compat: compat.git The compat-wireless stable releases incorporates code from from each of these git trees for the respective upstream Linux kernel stable release. A branch called linux-2.6.3x.y exists for each stable release. Below we provide the ChangeLog of changes from the previous branched release to the new branched release.
