OpenSuse backports the tracepoint part into their 2.6.27 kernel. I remember that thread now. It is probably wrong as a matter of policy to incorporate patches for distro kernels with backport bits through. - I am not saying you shouldn't be helpful and provide them - after all, more users == better testing, and no doubt the investigation itself throws more insights on the detailed mechanisms - but it is just that compat-wireless probably should not try to support arbitrary and substantial changes from a vanilla kernel. I know Suse is popular so it is important to support Suse users, but I am wondering if distro-specific changes should be separate or at least, clearly documented. -- 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
