I wonder why the package mac80211 in the current svn trunk uses compat-wireless-2.6 version 2008-08-06 (from http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6/2008/08) for linux kernels < 2.6.27 instead of a more recent compat-wireless-2.6-old?
I want to compile the ar9170 driver (Atheros USB 802.11(a)bgn WLAN stick) for an ASUS WL-500gD. This driver needs a recent compat-wireless-2.6-old or a compat-wireless for kernel >= 2.6.27, but I assume it requires less effort to switch to compat-wireless-2.6-old compared to running a 2.6.27 kernel on brcm47xx. Is it worth to provide a patch to use compat-wireless-2.6-old in mac80211 or will it break other things? /Joerg _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
