We are talking about the "mac_suspend in pwork" patch, which got commented to death by you and several others. But there is no way around applying it. There are only two choices. Either we apply that patch and make further development (and bugfixing) of bcm43xx possible, or we drop everything. This patch is not in John's main branches, because people did not want to have it (for whatever obscure reasons...). In fact, it _was_ there, until John rebased his repository to get it out again. I think it's partially applied to wireless-2.6#bcm43xx. So, can we finally have your ACK and get that patch upstream again? I think this is the patch in question: https://bat.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2006-June/001925.html I completely lost track of which bugfix is finally in which tree, because of all this useless trouble. I think the init-rewrite patch didn't get applied, too (because it depends on the above). -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://bat.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
