Hi,
Have just shipped a new patch to Alan Cox. You can find it at:
http://www.cs.uit.no/linux-irda/snapshots/v2.2/patch-2.2.15-pre20-irda1
It should fix a lot of problems:
o IrLAN register_netdev() from interrupt context fixed. Removed support for multiple
instances, since
nobody needs that anyway. Can add it later if I find a way to do it properly.
o IrLAN now works with DHCP. Just configure irlan0 from netcfg in Redhat!
o IrLAP TEST frames (which are now mandatory) does now work correctly and does not
freeze the machine
anymore
o IrLAP disocvery procedure is now much better and will detect devices it previously
had problems
detecting
o The ioctl's of the drivers were protected by capable(sysadm), but these functions
were also called
from interrupt context by IrLAP. Anyway, it's now fixed, but was very hard to
debug!!
o w83977af_ir driver called register_netdev() instead of register_netdevice() which
confused the rtnl locking.
If you need any of these fixes then I suggest that you try this new patch!!
