[PATCH 0/4] iwlwifi fixes fo 2.6.35

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We include four fixes. This series includes the overdue 3945 fix to
internal scanning. The system hang issue fixed by this patch is
encountered by many people, see:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/994562
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/51343
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/51614
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/992191/focus=51561

We include a second fix for iwl3945 that enables a workaround to detect and
recover when the command queue, or a transmit queue, becomes stuck.
Unfortunately users seem to be running into this issue more frequently now.
The bugs related to this issue is noted in the commit message.

A third fix addresses a lockdep warning.

We also include an update to the MAINTAINERS file that we would like to
include in 2.6.35 since Wey-Yi will be maintainer during this
kernel's stabilization as well as thereafter.

These patches are also available from wireless-2.6 branch on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git
