Subject: 2.6.35-rc3: Reported regressions 2.6.33 -> 2.6.34

[NOTES:
* This report has been delayed, because I had to go through all of the
entries and filter out the fixed ones, invalid ones etc. Of course, I might
have missed some, but hopefully not too many.
* E-mail reports from the last 7 days are not included.]

This message contains a list of some post-2.6.33 regressions introduced before
2.6.34, for which there are no fixes in the mainline known to the tracking team.
If any of them have been fixed already, please let us know.

If you know of any other unresolved post-2.6.33 regressions, please let us know
either and we'll add them to the list. Also, please let us know if any
of the entries below are invalid.

Each entry from the list will be sent additionally in an automatic reply to
this message with CCs to the people involved in reporting and handling the
issue.

For details, please visit the bug entries and follow the links given in
references.

As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions.
There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions introduced
between 2.6.33 and 2.6.34, unresolved as well as resolved, at:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15310

Please let the tracking teak know if there are any Bugzilla entries that
should be added to the list in there.

Thanks!

That was a patch posted for that by Tim Gardner:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/105008/

The patch is applied to wireless-testing
(d6a574ff6bfb842bdb98065da053881ff527be46)

$ git describe d6a574ff6bfb842bdb98065da053881ff527be46
v2.6.34-4694-gd6a574f

I understand it was applied after 2.6.34, so it should be backported to
2.6.34 and whatever older kernels are affected.

This regression from 2.6.33 still seems to be missing from the list, and
is still present in 2.6.35-rc3.

For your convenience in reading the regression report here's the
802.11 and Bluetooth ones. There's one PCMCIA one which I left in as I
think these patches now go through John (?) The other ones are 1
Bluetooth regression, 1 hostap_pci, 1 iwl3945 and 1 iwlagn regression.
