Ok, I was looking for merged tree. JBenc told me it should be
available "soon", so I guess I'll wait.

I've put up http://intellinuxwireless.org/repos/?p=d80211.git so you can 
pull the d80211 package via git (vs. downloading the tarball).  Running 
'make patch_kernel' will then install the d80211 subsystem containing 
patches not yet in wireless-dev into your kernel sources (specified via 
KSRC=)

Wow, great news on this rainy saturday! ;-)

The driver works perfectly, I'm writing this mail via wireless link.

The driver generates two network devices. The second one is for promicious

Second problem is that I can't unload the module. I get the message "FATAL:

I think we should take this as a goal.  Last time I checked, d80211 wasn't in
-mm.  Perhaps it should go there.  And by the way, the latest changes from
netdev->class_dev to netdev->dev break d80211.  Perhaps we should rebase
wireless-dev immediately after 2.6.21-rc1, fix all compile issues and submit
the patch to -mm.

And iwlwifi is surprisingly good for a just announced driver.  It worked for me
from the first attempt, and that's the first d80211 driver to do so.  In my
opinion, it should go to wireless-dev as soon as possible so it can go to -mm
toghether with other drivers.  A couple of wrinkles in the standalone build
system are irrelevant to the kernel interation.

I am impressed: I had 2.6.20 running with ipw3945 + wpa_supplicant. I
installed the d80211 system and the new driver, rebooted, and you won't
believe it, I had network connection even with WEP encryption.

That was a big surprise for me that it worked out of the box without any
magic.

If you are interested in any dmesg/log output, please let me know.


Ahhh ... one thing: The LED on my Acer Laptop (TM3012) does not show up,
maybe because I have CONFIG_D80211_LEDS off?

Again, thanks a lot for the good work!
