lxo, can we get a -2 2.6.32 build with these changes (assuming you think they are fine; you know *a lot* more about linux building than I do :-) *** Bluetooth support. Already mostly on in lxo's linux-libre build, just wondering if perhaps these should be compiled as modules as well. # CONFIG_BT_HCIBTSDIO is not set # CONFIG_BT_HCIUART is not set # CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X is not set # CONFIG_BT_HCIBPA10X is not set # CONFIG_BT_MRVL is not set *** Builds ath5k and ath9k support as modules. I'm not sure it's possible to get these devices in USB form factor, but having them around as modules seemed harmless. +CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m +CONFIG_ATH5K=m +CONFIG_ATH9K=m *** Build ath9k USB support - we actually have one of these and I will be testing it again soon; it wouldn't work with the .30 linux. Note that AR9170 does have firmware you need to download, but it is claimed that the firmware is free software - see http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170.fw """ This page is for the ar9170 open firmware. ar9170.fw is the firmware for the Atheros 802.11n USB chipset (AR9170). It was released by Atheros under the GPLv2 License with a lot of contributions made by the community. The firmware is maintained by the community.
