It turns out that guess was wrong: the new `ide-generic.ko' is not the
replacement for `ide-disk.ko'. Instead, to get back a working system we
need to use the new CONFIG_IDE_GD kernel parameter which ends up
producing the ide-gd_mod.ko file, which is the proper replacement for
ide-disk.ko.
I've used the patch below which gave me a working firmware for my
WL-700gE. Clearly the patch shouldn't be installed as is since it
breaks builds with earlier kernels. But I'm not very good at using
those funny `make' statement like `ifeq', not being too sure how and
where they can be used, so I haven't yet ventured into cleaning it up.
I also have no idea what's the meaning of options of the form
"OPTION_NAME" rather than "OPTION_NAME=y" or "OPTION_NAME=n" or
"OPTION_NAME=m" in the KCONFIG setting. Can someone enlighten me (I
haven't found anything relevant in the doc)?
