I think we should take this as a goal. Last time I checked, d80211 wasn't in -mm. Perhaps it should go there. And by the way, the latest changes from netdev->class_dev to netdev->dev break d80211. Perhaps we should rebase wireless-dev immediately after 2.6.21-rc1, fix all compile issues and submit the patch to -mm. And iwlwifi is surprisingly good for a just announced driver. It worked for me from the first attempt, and that's the first d80211 driver to do so. In my opinion, it should go to wireless-dev as soon as possible so it can go to -mm toghether with other drivers. A couple of wrinkles in the standalone build system are irrelevant to the kernel interation. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org via listexpand id S1751399AbXBJSAc (ORCPT ); Sat, 10 Feb 2007 13:00:32 -0500 Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org id S1751703AbXBJSAc (ORCPT ); Sat, 10 Feb 2007 13:00:32 -0500 Received: from mailgate.cesmail.net ([216.154.195.36]:43396 "HELO mailgate.cesmail.net" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with SMTP id S1751399AbXBJSAb (ORCPT ); Sat, 10 Feb 2007 13:00:31 -0500 X-Greylist: delayed 399 seconds by postgrey-1.27 at vger.kernel.org; Sat, 10 Feb 2007 13:00:31 EST Message-ID: <20070210125351.05uo0o0sgw0w0ckc@webmail.spamcop.net> Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 12:53:51 -0500 From: Pavel Roskin To: "John W.
