Jul 20 10:59:55 <swalker> has any consideration been given in trying to get stale tickets with patches checked in before 8.08?
Jul 20 11:43:59 <CIA-8> nbd * r11883 /trunk/package/mac80211/Makefile: update compat-wireless to a newer version, but leave it at the old version for brcm47xx (b43 does not compile with the new one)
Jul 20 11:44:19 <CIA-8> nbd * r11884 /trunk/package/ath9k/ (32 files in 7 dirs): add the new ath9k driver (loads successfully on an AR9160 card, but still seems to have some rf issues)
Jul 20 12:37:16 <CIA-8> nbd * r11885 /trunk/package/ath9k/patches/140-no_desc_swap.patch: ath9k: remove software descriptor swapping, hw already does that
Jul 20 12:58:12 <loswillios> that was fast
Jul 20 16:32:50 <CIA-8> nbd * r11886 /trunk/package/ath9k/patches/150-txq_endian.patch: add another endianness fix for ath9k, ar9160 now works on ixp4xx, at least in sta mode :)
Jul 20 16:33:36 <nbd> yay
Jul 20 16:39:16 <loswillios> nbd: does it work in 802.11n mode?
Jul 20 16:39:25 <nbd> dunno
Jul 20 16:39:28 <nbd> i just tested legacy
Jul 20 16:39:53 <nbd> i mostly added it to trunk because i want to participate in the development
Jul 20 16:40:01 <loswillios> cool
Jul 20 16:40:13 <loswillios> you like atheros wifi don't you :)
Jul 20 16:40:25 <nbd> mostly, yeah
Jul 20 16:40:54 <nbd> i'm more familiar with it than with any other wifi hardware
Jul 20 16:41:03 <nbd> so it makes sense for me to choose these drivers to hack on
Jul 20 16:41:26 <nbd> especially now that atheros has finally released something that's entirely free software
Jul 20 16:42:01 <loswillios> yes that's great
Jul 20 16:42:14 <loswillios> I have opened my DIR-300 today and saw it contains an AR2317 which I'd like to test ath5k on eventually
Jul 20 16:42:42 <nbd> ath5k has no wisoc support
Jul 20 16:43:12 <loswillios> bummer
Jul 20 16:43:25 <nbd> but as soon as i get permission to work on ath5k, i will add that ;)
Jul 20 16:43:30 <nbd> it really isn't that hard
Jul 20 16:43:39 <nbd> just nobody has RE'd those parts yet
Jul 20 16:44:11 <loswillios> heh ok. that's great to hear
Jul 20 16:45:01 <loswillios> you mean permission from your employer?
Jul 20 16:45:15 <nbd> i have access to atheros NDA material
Jul 20 16:45:28 <nbd> i need explicit permission to be able to use that to improve ath5k
Jul 20 16:45:40 <loswillios> ah ok
Jul 20 16:47:07 * loswillios crosses fingers
Jul 20 18:03:58 <luke-jr> nbd: wisoc?
Jul 20 18:04:21 <luke-jr> IIRC, Atheros seems to approve of ath5k
Jul 20 18:06:04 <nbd> yes, but i still need the legal thing covered
Jul 20 18:07:38 <luke-jr> just saying it's likely they will
Jul 20 18:07:53 <nbd> yes, i've gotten that from them as well
Jul 20 18:07:57 <luke-jr> cool
Jul 20 18:07:58 <nbd> just needs to be finished
Jul 20 18:09:10 <luke-jr> I wish I understood LZMA code
Jul 20 19:34:15 <CIA-8> mb * r11887 /trunk/ (6 files in 4 dirs): Update gpiommc to use configfs
Jul 20 20:17:10 <CIA-8> cyrus * r11888 /trunk/package/dnsmasq/ (Makefile patches/101-ipv6.patch): Updated Dnsmasq to 2.45
Jul 20 21:51:30 <CIA-8> matteo * r11889 /trunk/package/ath9k/Makefile: ath9k: correct package description
