I've been waiting for them to fix this for a while now so I can move forward to newer kernels - so I definitely want the newer verison. I think it'd would be a good idea to remove all the older versions as well, apart from perhaps r1844 which corrosponds to the last actual madwifi release (0.9.2.1). This should help get us back to one set of patches as well since in version r1844 they changed the file that arm is patching, requiring different patches for r1844 and newer. Actually looking at it now it appears as if someone patched the version in the files directory for a newer version so the older versions (prior to r1844) won't build anymore anyway (patching will fail). So the older versions of madwifi-ng and all the version specific subdirs can all go as well.

They won't be effected by your changes (and I'll test and fix up any issues for these targers anyway.) I currently use r1844 but will move to a later version as soon as there's one that works with 2.6.20. > we're referring to madwifi-ng (which I couldn't find any other reference > to in OE other than slugos and openprotium), not madwifi-modules (which > is used directly by a number of distros). Is anyone actually using madwifi-modules? It looks like a really old version and looks to be hacked to only work on mips targets. -- Jamie Lenehan
