Thanks for reply. Could you cherry-pick these patches from mainline (38-rc8), please? bc5892c9ec250b36c9287bd52a74d08d75a40152 rtlwifi: Fix firmware upload errors bdc4bf652bc0271ba8f1f25bbd3dbac90bead44e rtlwifi: Fix possible NULL dereference 5c4bc1ce917d93ce8f7dd498fbec6881b3d7743a rtlwifi: Fix large packet issue e6d8a817d00793eecd063b1548bbc954ab62b124 rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix driver problem when radio switch off at module load 8d6a686a0d20d39c202fdfc6fa7f1daf1d6e3b35 rtlwifi: Use pci_pcie_cap() 3d986b25b5faa50ba6afd94f60f270b6c3061e5e rtlwifi: use alloc_workqueue d704300fa546a613ec3821b908528b20685cb92a rtlwifi: Fix use of mutex in interrupt code 18db45c46eae31cee7cfdfd7e671b0201dcdbcd8 rtl8192ce: Fix typo in Kconfig description 5c405b5c3e435fd332058c59ee58eaa1ac9c513a rtl8192ce: drop 'rtl8192c-' prefix from files 8a09d6d80c90c02f2f8c89f69c702cab0c8d9b42 rtlwifi: Switch locking from semaphores to mutexes 4aea248dd7a67097d683a97f94a0aeaf0d248f3f rtl8192ce: Fix build on powerpc e137478b56fd79c397b5c5c74fc08c049a42835a rtlwifi: convert to __packed notation bd2ce6e43f65127bc723e7fcc044758cf8113260 mac80211: Add timeout to BA session start API 0c8173385e549f95cd80c3fff5aab87b4f881d8d rtl8192ce: Add new driver Kernel configuration changes are limited to set to 'm' CONFIG_RTLWIFI and CONFIG_RTL8192CE. Apply also these three patches from the wireless maintainer tree (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=history;f=drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi;hb=refs/heads/master): c2a7dca0ce0e6ceb13f9030ff8e9731eaa14cc02 rtlwifi: fix places where uninitialized data is used 701c2be03aac62a54decaa685c70d2b734afde67 rtlwifi: Add the missing rcu_read_lock/unlock 8c6113cd03c7e927f5ee5f6ad98e155ef2d27177 rtlwifi: Eliminate udelay calls with too large values These should make the driver compatible with MeeGo kernel criteria (http://wiki.meego.com/images/Kernel_criteria.pdf) in particular for requirements 2.7, 2.15 and 4.3. All patches applies well expect for an only one easy fixable reject (for 701c2be03aac62a54decaa685c70d2b734afde67). I integrated and tested them into the 2.6.37-7.28 quilt series to be sure. The resultant kernel builds well and so the wireless card start working on the Dell Inspiron Mini 1018. This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum. Thank you very much!
