The sheep (Linus?) got on meth (Red Bull?) this weekend with a 2.6.35
release (huge guess on the meaning :)) so we get to give it wings with
a respective compat-wireless stable release [1] tarball based on it
[2]. This gives us the 2.6.35 802.11 subsystem, bluetooth subsystem
and new 802.11/bluetooth drivers (and a few Ethernet drivers [atlc1,
atl1e, atl1, atl2, b44]) compilable and installable on older kernels.
Please report any issues ASAP. For details on changes you can refer to
the ChangeLog-2.6.35-wireless [3].
While at it I went ahead and updated the older compat-wireless releases from:
compat-wireless-2.6.32.11.tar.bz2 --> compat-wireless-2.6.32.15.tar.bz2
compat-wireless-2.6.33.5.tar.bz2 --> compat-wireless-2.6.33.5.tar.bz2
The 2.6.34 kernel has not received a new extra version update yet so
that remains the same.
The $(git shortlog linux-2.6.34.y..linux-2.6.35.y) for the generic
kernel compatibility module [4] is:
Hauke Mehrtens (3):
compat: backport eth_change_mtu and eth_validate_addr
compat: move kparam_{block,unblock}_sysfs_write
compat: move usb_{alloc,free}_coherent
Luis R. Rodriguez (11):
compat: add new way to backport the usage of net_device_ops
