Hi Randy,
I agree with you that it is not the job of the wl-tree to fix issues
from other dev-branches.
Speaking as an end-user, latest wl.git was not compilable with my
kernel-dotconfig.
Just to give a feedback:
wl.git (master-2009-01-12) + 2.6.29-rc1-git3 was compilable and it's
running now.
Kind Regards,
Sedat
P.S.: Additional Informations see attached txt-file.
