Perhaps because Robin told it to me 5 minutes before I send that mail? ;) He is still struggling a bit with the Makefile, but at least some progress has been made. I have added Robin to the CC list, so he can explain the current status himself. :)
Hi guys, Ok status is as follows. d80211 and cfg80211 will compile against a 2.6.20 kernel (i believe 2.6.18 or better will do). I have achieved this starting with the d80211 and cfg80211 code from wireless-dev.git, and applying some of the intel patches from the d80211 subsystem package and a couple of other pointer cast fixes. I have not made a patch set yet as I am still experimenting. The problem i am up against is now i must disable the existing wireless extensions in the kernel and this can only be done with a kernel rebuild. I have not tried this yet as I am not sure there is a lot of point continuing on this route as its not possible to completely out of kernel build the cfg80211 modules, which was the target for my experimentation. -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
