two patches.
Hmm, I'll have to check, but I was a bit puzzled that compat-wireless didn't
build the mac80211 module and the fc10 kernel didn't have one either. (and early
kernels have a mac80211.ko). Has this been made obsolete, or did the fc10 kernel
shipped it compiled-in and for some good/bad reason compat-wireless doesn't
build modules that are compiled in? (obviously there is no point in building a
module the older version of which is compiled in since it won't be used...)
The status.retry_count vs status.rate[0].count change must be in mac80211.ko
or some other more generic module?
Hin-Tak
P.S. I know building a whole wireless-testing kernel is the way to go, but
it takes *very long*...
