I want to try to add this patch in a seperate branch but this patch doesn't apply on linux-wpan. There must be changes in the middle of them which are not mainline. Diff reports about line 813, but the end of the file is line 802. Simon can you confirm this? I never tried to apply it since there was other review notes. The same what your patch does and Simon's is the setting of REG_TESTMODE. - Alex [0] http://pastie.org/9589875 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
