Just to be sure: as it's been merged into olpc-2.6.35, all > future official 2.6.35 based OLPC kernel builds will include this patch?
hi sascha -- yes. i think we hope there won't actually be any more of those, but if there are, that patch will be there. current and future releases get the patch for free, since it's upstream. (thank you) paul p.s. somehow the git hash i pasted above is incorrect. the correct cherry-pick was this one: --------- commit 6bdbdbf4a151a3a1333818cd17a7d7795e936041 Author: Sascha Silbe <[email protected]> Date: Wed May 11 14:52:34 2011 +0200 libertas: Add libertas_disablemesh module parameter to disable mesh interface This allows individual users and deployments to disable mesh support at runtime, i.e. without having to build and maintain a custom kernel.
