Linus flushed out Linux 3.0, the respective backport of that release for the 802.11, Bluetooth and Networking subsystems is available now [1]. Thanks for all the contributions, below are the compat.git and compat-wireless.git contributions, for more details please refer to the complete ChangeLog [2], and the stable compat-wireless page page [3]. I've compile tested this against 2.6.38 and loaded iwlagn successfully. To discuss if we want to expand this framework to include other subsystems we can talk about it in person at the 2011 Linux Plumbers conference [4], should the BoF proposal get accepted. Farewell 2.6.x days. =============================================== ChangeLog for compat-wireless for linux-3.0 =============================================== This is the ChangeLog for the Linux kernel project compat-wireless. It provides a backport of a few Linux kernel subsystems down to older kernels: * 802.11 * Bluetooth * Ethernet For more details refer to the home page: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/ The compat-wireless project consists of code from three projects: * The Linux kernel: linux-2.6-allstable.git * Compat-wirelesS: compat-wireless.git * Compat: compat.git The compat-wireless stable releases incorporates code from from each of these git trees for the respective upstream Linux kernel stable release. A branch called linux-2.6.3x.y exists for each stable release. Below we provide the ChangeLog of changes from the previous branched release to the new branched release.
