Hi,
Had some spare time, so I did some more hacking this weekend ;-)
So I just uploaded patch-2.4-test6-irda3 :-o
Have fun!
-- Dag
It should fix a lot of problems (most are from 2.2.15-pre20-irda1):
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.
