[PATCH] wireless-extension-v17-for-linus.patch
From: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@bougret.hpl.hp.com>
This is the patch to migrate Wireless Extension from WE-16 to
WE-17 for kernel 2.6.X. I would like you to queue that patch and
submit it to Linus as soon as 2.6.8 is released (so it can be fully
tested during 2.6.9). If you want, I can resend that as soon as 2.6.8
is released.
The patch is basically unchanged compared to the version
posted to the netdev list and my web page one month ago, I just
re-diff to the latest kernel (2.6.8-rc2-bk12). The patch already
included feedback from various driver maintainers, and nobody else
complained, so I guess it's ready.
The patch for some drivers inside the kernel will follow
(airo.c, wavelan.c, wavelan_cs). Patch for various other drivers
(orinoco, hostap, prism54) have been sent already to their maintainers
(one month ago) and basically waiting for this patch.
Changelog :
* - Add flags to frequency -> auto/fixed
* - Document (struct iw_quality *)->updated, add new flags (INVALID)
* - Wireless Event capability in struct iw_range
* - Add support for relative TxPower (yick !)
* - Change the way we get to spy_data method for added safety and hostap
* - Remove spy #ifdef, they are always on -> cleaner code
* - Allow any size GET request if user specifies length > max
* - Start migrating get_wireless_stats to struct iw_handler_def
* Based on patch from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> :
* - Fix kernel data leak to user space in private handler handling
I also added on my page a version of Wireless Tools that use
RtNetlink instead of ioctls. This is not as clean as I would like, but
is fully functional (if you have WE-19). I know that you were
interested, so feel free to send feedback on that...
