Subject: [ANN] WiMAX stack and drivers for Intel WiMAX Link 5050 v1.2.5

Hi All


Intel would like to announce the 1.2.5 release of the Linux WiMAX common
stack and drivers for its WiMAX devices (eg: Intel(r) WiMAX/WiFi Link 5050).

You can find the code and additional information at http://linuxwimax.org.

This is a maintenance release; the changes from release 1.2 to 1.2.5 are:

* WiMAX network service:*

Miscellaneous fixes:

- Unable to connect using eap-tls authentication (workaround fix with
host side tls)

- SW RF state is not restored across wimax service restarts.

- Repeat connect/disconnect sequence causes the device and wimax
service to reset.

- Switching HW radio on/off crashes the wimax service.

- CINR/RSSI values are not reported correctly.

- NDnSAgentConfig_forDriver.xml sometimes get corrupted during wimax
service shutdown.

- Disconnecting from auto-connect mode does not change mode to manual.

- wimaxcu crashes when launched without wimax service

- Not all information or some information is incorrectly reported on
querying device info.

- Device state cotinues to be reported as connected after losing
connection for extended period.


* WiMAX kernel stack and drivers:

Miscellaneous fixes

- fix memory corruption caused by race condition on freed skb

- use skb_end_pointer() instead of skb->end so we work properly on 64 bits
