OK, I see now. The patch won't apply to the upstream branch at all
due to the open-coded locking patch applied previously.
The problem now is that if I send this up for 2.6.18 then it creates
some messiness in the git repositories. Plus, it still might not
make 2.6.18 because it is already very late.
I think I will have to ask you to hold-on to this until Linus
officially releases 2.6.18. Then you can/should send this patch to
the stable team ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for inclusion in 2.6.18.1
or later.
I will do that as soon as 18 is released. I don't want that bug in the
wild too long.
I have these:
Date Title
---- -----
8/21 bcm43xx-softmac: Init, shutdown and restart fixes
8/30 WE-21 for bcm43xx
9/3 remove dead code from bcm43xx-softmac
9/4 add firmware version printout
9/6 ucode debug status via sysfs
9/7 remove dead code in bcm43xx_sysfs.c
The first has not been merged because I haven't seen a reply to
Michael's last comments in that thread. The WE-21 patch has not been
merged because I haven't merged the WE-21 stuff yet. The others are
all from last week, which I just haven't processed yet.
Will you be responding to Michael's comments on the "Init, shutdown
and restart fixes" patch?
That has already been sent. As I said in that message, it looks as if
the first patch has already been merged; therefore, I sent only the
patch to move the step that Michael noted. If that is not true, let me
know.
P.S. For some reason, I often have trouble applying your patches.
I'm not sure what process you are using to generate your patches, but
please make sure that your patches can be successfully applied when
your email is fed to 'git applymbox'. If you use git, the output of
'git format-patch' should be usable.
Also, if you could just use "---" instead of a long line of "======",
I think I would have to do less manual processing...thanks!
Sorry about the === rather than ---. Is that documented somewhere?
I use quilt to generate the patches, but will check them with git in
the future.
In addition to the items listed above, my list for wireless-2.6 includes:
8/15 bcm43xx: >1G and 64bit DMA support
8/15 bcm43xx: re-add bcm43xx_rng_init() call
8/15 Add Larry Finger to bcm43xx MAINTAINERS
8/16 bcm43xx-softmac: optimization of DMA bitfields.
8/19 bcm43xx: return correct hard_start_xmit error code]
9/10 Change PHY initialization to match updated clean-room specs
The first 3 were submitted by Michael before I took over.
I hope I'm not causing too much trouble while I learn the ropes.
