Hi,
My company's wireless driver is a part of the latest 3.15-rc kernel.
My question is pertaining to the backports project. How does the
procedure at backports work? Will my driver be picked up and
backported by the backports group now that it is part of the kernel or
the owner of the driver needs to backport the driver [for various
kernels] and provide it on to this mailing list initially?
The backport repo does not hold a backported driver, but a framework to
create a package of the latest drivers which can be automatically
backported to various kernels.
When you check out the backports repository on kernel.org there is a
copy-list file which lists everything that is copied from the kernel
tree to be included in the backport package. First step would be to add
you driver to that list. If you are lucky that might be sufficient.
However, a quick try over here shows not :-p
/tmp/backporst-rsi/drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_mac80211.c: In
function rsi_mac80211_attach:
/tmp/backporst-rsi/drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_mac80211.c:988:2:
