This is what I consider the final submission of this patch set, it's ready to go. I also made sure all the patches are checkpatch clean. I've actually tested these exact patches on sparc64 with a RNDIS based USB wireless device from Linksys. I was able to perform iwconfig commands, check iwlist, bring up the interface and use it properly. All with 32-bit tools. I've also done an allmodconfig sanity build check on sparc64. Masakazu-san has tested these patches extensively on PS3 systems, using the gelic and zd1211 drivers. In particular he tested wpa_supplicant use. The patch set starts by cleaning up the code so that we can avoid having multiple copies of the WEXT main dispatch routines, one for compat and one for the non-compat case. Next, basic compat level handling of the WEXT ioctl is added, and the equivalent code in the compat_ioctl.c file is removed. Finally, compat IWE stream munging is added for the wireless layer. When we get a compat WEXT ioctl request, we set a bit in the request info blob, and the stream building helpers tip off this to format the stream entries properly. These patches are against net-next-2.6 and are also available as a GIT tree at: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/wireless-2.6.git John, please pull or apply as you deem appropriate. -- 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
