Thanks for the pointer! I've downloaded the DirectIP driver v3.0, which
indeed compiles against 2.6.39.2 without any changes at all. Also, the
SYNC problem is gone. Looking at the driver, it seems to be related to
the new function sierra_net_open() calling sierra_net_dosync() instead
of sierra_net_bind(). 

Other than that and the autopm-support, there are not many changes to
the driver. Are there concrete plans already when this will go mainline?

Greetings and again many thanks,
Phil
