mjg59BenC: prism54usb is supposed to be moving to softmac04:39
mjg59BenC: So if we can get that in, it would be great04:39
mjg59Oh, and prism54softmac seems to drive full prism54 hardware as well04:41
BenCah, nice04:45
mjg59Possibly best to contact Jean-Baptiste to find out what's going on there04:50
mjg59There's almost no publically available information04:51
=== garbage_ [n=garbage@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
mjg59BenC: Checking Jean Tourrilhes's list, it looks like we have every currently available wireless driver (with the possible exception of the prism54usb stuff)05:04
mjg59Oh, and the Realtek stuff05:05
mjg59(Which you pulled because it was broken)05:05
mjg59Nngh. The Realtek stuff is still some weird other ieee80211 stack derived thing05:08

BenCgreat, latest bcm43xx driver seems to be using stuff that isn't available in softmac/ieee8021105:21
mjg59You're pulling the git tree for that now?05:21
mjg59(They moved away from mercurial)05:21
BenCoh, did they?05:22
mjg59Yeah05:22
mjg59Might explain it :)05:22
BenCyeah, definitely05:22
BenCthanks05:22
BenCgonna have to go with their daily snapshots...they are following linus tree now05:25
mjg59Nnngh. The rtl8180 stuff /still/ looks like pain05:25
mjg59Would probably be easy to port to softmac05:25
=== garbage_ [n=garbage@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
mjg59Gah, fuck, yes.05:29
mjg59It conflicts with the in-kernel stuff05:29
mjg59Stupid, stupid thing05:29
=== BenC [n=bcollins@debian/developer/bcollins] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
=== garbage_ [n=garbage@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
mjg59BenC: Still around?05:53
BenCyeah05:55
BenCjust updated bcm43xx/softmac drivers on pb to test it05:56
BenCseems to be ok, but still only stable at 11M05:56
mjg59BenC: I've figured out a way to deal with rtl818005:56
mjg59But I'm not sure you're going to like it05:56
mjg59Grab the newstack and their custom ieee80211 code05:56
mjg59Then (and this is the tricky bit)05:56
BenCsed?05:56
mjg59sed -i s/ieee80211/rtl_ieee80211/g *.c *.h05:57
mjg59Indeed05:57
mjg59It seems to work - their 80211 stack is entirely independent from the kernel one05:57
BenCwell, I could just remove all the EXPORT_SYMBOLS and compile the ieee80211 stack into the module05:57
mjg59Nnf. Yeah, I guess.05:57
mjg59I'm not sure if that's any cleaner.05:57
mjg59Fucking insane.05:58
BenCso how hacked up is their ieee80211 stack?05:58
mjg59Not /very/, but it's based on a fairly ancient checkout05:58
BenCsoftmac has some hacking in the stock ieee80211 stack now05:58
BenCbut it doesn't appear to break things05:59
mjg59Nowadays it should just be ported to softmac instead, but that's going to take a little while to look at the driver05:59
mjg59BenC: Actually, keeping it modular is probably more sensible05:59
mjg59That way we can get the 8187 (USB) driver as well05:59
BenCtrue05:59

kozzBenC: and then in the directory debian/patches? the thing is that that directory do not exist06:45
BenCkozz: that's because there are no patches, everything is applied in the tree06:46
kozzright, can I find them somewhere?06:50
BenCsure, download linux-2.6.15.1.tar.bz2 and diff it06:51
BenCthere are no seperate patches06:52
BenCit's all in the tree06:52
kozzseems like a strange solution, but ok, thanks06:56
