I clearly second that opinion and I thought we (the main people working on wireless) had decided to _not_ use GPL syms in mac80211 (was d80211). In my opinion license policy should not be represented in sourcecode. Source is source, license is license. That are two absolutely seperate things to me. For example, if I want to relicense some code (as a copyright holder), I clearly don't want to change sourcecode for this. In fact, I think the GPL suffix is pretty much useless, legal wise. And everybody knows that the kernel is GPLed. So _every_ single symbol is actually a _GPL() symbol. the _GPL() annotation is just redundant and bloats code. Using kernel syms from a non-GPL compatible module is always walking a borderline. Be it for _GPL() or normal syms; Exactly the same issue for both. All IMO, of course. I'm perfectly aware of different people having different opinions on this. ;) -- Greetings Michael. ___ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev

Yes, there was a change in the API for deferred work queues. I need to check what kernel version changed that and error the build process, but 2.6.20 will work.

I thought > most new exports were pretty much required to be _GPL (otherwise > somebody would NAK it) unless it was really, really necessary that they > weren't. An argument against _GPL exports for mac80211 might be leaving the exports alone as a token of gratitude or respect towards Devicescape for having seeded the development of mac80211 with a big chunk of code. While I do thank Devicescape for their support, I'm not sure that this argument would be truly compelling. A more presuasive argument in favor of this pragmatism is that it would be counter-productive to discourage driver availability. At this point regulatory issues are still enough of a spectre that some vendors will want the option of offering non-GPL drivers. Such drivers would clearly not be redistributable, but there are arguments that allow for such drivers (i.e. "the user installed the driver -- not us", etc like Nvidia video drivers). Of course, no one likes enabling this kind of "bad behaviour". Probably the best reason in favor of leaving them as-is is that they were written that way by their original author(s). Should I ask for opinionated discussion on the matter? :-) John -- John W.

The connection problem is likely due to signal strength problems. The latest set of patches fix those, but are not yet part of any standard kernel. The current fwcutter does handle many more versions of the drivers. Larry ___ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev

It is now changed. You are strongly encouraged to use the _GPL version for new symbol exports, especially those which are fundamentally internal to in-kernel subsystems and/or have no reasonable usage by drivers.
