hey Guus, Would you be amenable to the following update for wireless-tools for etchnahalf?
Up WE_VERSION_MAX to 22. When version 28 of wireless-tools is used on a >= 2.6.23 kernel it warns that some things may break. This is because wireless-tools sees that the kernel is advertising a newer version of the WE interface than it knows about. The 2.6.24 kernel proposed for etchnhalf advertises WE 22 - wireless-tools 28 only knows (and claims forward support for) WE 21. Some basic testing didn't uncover any issues and the upstream author believes no incompatibilities were introduced in WE 22: http://teams.debian.net/lurker/message/20080104.182703.557bed3b.it.html Upping WE_VERSION_MAX to 22 tells wireless-tools that it is forward-compatible with version 22 of WE and silences the scary warning to the user. --- wireless-tools-28.orig/iwlib.h +++ wireless-tools-28/iwlib.h @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ /* Recommended Wireless Extension version */ #define WE_VERSION 20 /* Maximum forward compatibility built in this version of WT */ -#define WE_MAX_VERSION 21 +#define WE_MAX_VERSION 22 /* Version of Wireless Tools */ #define WT_VERSION 28 -- dann frazier -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
