Greetings;
Can anyone tell me if this pci wireless card is supported, or what its
status is?
>From lspci -v:
01:06.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)
Subsystem: Netgear WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter
I have built a 2.6.31-rc5 kernel with the Marvel stuffs all enabled, but
even a modprobe mwl8k, while apparently loading the driver, doesn't create
any wireless devices in /dev.
Thanks for any pointers.

they don't show up in /dev - tried iwconfig?

I don't know much about Marvell, but I'd not expect anything in /dev...
dmesg?

It could be due to a regression I caused, see this thread,

Could you test it with this?

This is a total failure when I attempt to patch my 2.6.31-rc5 tree. The patch
trigger phrase lines are even so different that I am not comfortable trying to
apply it by hand.
So obviously there have been other, intervening patches also.
If this makes it into rc6, maybe it will work?
