Subject: [RFC 0/5] orinoco: Add support for Agere based USB cards
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2010 08:35:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1271662522-29119-1-git-send-email-kilroyd@googlemail.com> (raw)
This patch series adds the orinoco_usb driver, originally written by
Manuel Estrada Sainz.
I believe the main stumbling block the last time this driver was
submitted for inclusion was the way it handled the orinoco driver
locking. I've reworked this into something reasonably sane (patch 3).
The resulting driver has been basically tested with a Compaq WL215
(thanks to Mark Davis for supplying one). Managed mode with WEP works
on this card while a WPA-enabled PCMCIA orinoco card is running.
I'm not familiar with the USB subsystem, so there may be issues that
need to be resolved in that area. Also the original driver used
in_atomic in one location. I left this as-is in the main driver
commit (patch 4), and the subsequent patch (5) is my attempt to fix
this up. It works, but there may be a better way to do this.
Regards,
Dave.
