Hi John,
Please pull
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mwu/mac80211-misc.git
for these patches:
Johannes Berg (19):
mac80211: allow drivers to indicate failed FCS/PLCP checksum
mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration
mac80211: validate VLAN interfaces better
mac80211: remove key threshold stuff
mac80211: remove IEEE80211_CONF_SSID_HIDDEN
mac80211: renumber and document the hardware flags
mac80211: document a lot more
wireless networking: move frame inline functions to generic header
mac80211: yet more documentation
mac80211: fix warnings introduced by the doc patches
mac80211: remove tx info sw_retry_attempt member
mac80211: print out wiphy name instead of master device
mac80211: rename ieee80211_cfg.c to cfg.c
mac80211: fix initialisation when built-in
mac80211: remove crypto algorithm typedef
mac80211: kill IE parse typedef
mac80211: kill vlan_id
mac80211: fix virtual interface locking
mac80211: fix sparse warning
Michael Wu (3):
mac80211: rename ieee80211_cfg.h to cfg.h
rtl8187: Adapt to filter configuration API
adm8211: Adapt to filter configuration API
As you can see, most of the updates this time are from Johannes and fix a
number of issues. Some of them are locking issues. One is an update to the
driver API which breaks every mac80211 driver. I have fixed the drivers which
were in net-2.6.24 when I pulled a few days ago, but it appears that b43 and
iwlwifi are going in too.. which is somewhat unfortunate timing. Johannes has
an update for b43 but there isn't an api update for b43legacy or iwlwifi yet.
I did not include the initialization when built-in fix for cfg80211 since I do
not maintain that code, but that patch should be merged along with the
patches here.
I also did not include Johannes' patch adding himself to the maintainers list,
but it seems like a good idea. However, I don't think that directing the
mac80211 git repo to wireless-dev is what we want to do. (so I'll post a
patch just adding Johannes later) Jiri Benc has been very busy so he has been
unable to merge patches to his mac80211 tree, but I do think there's value in
having a separate mac80211 development tree (with both patches ready to go
upstream and patches that aren't). The mac80211-misc tree which I'm using
right now is just temporary for me to push some patches, however. I'll put
together a real mac80211 tree later.
Thanks,
-Michael Wu
