Is anyone using libertas_tf? I believe it has been broken since
2.6.34-rc1. Anyone want to fix it?

Johannes,
I'm actively working on it. OLPC's XO-1.5 and also some Gumstix users
are using it right now. In particular I've added an sdio interface
for the 8686 as well as some other general fixes. I'm trying to get
it to a state to push it up to wireless-testing now.
If you or anyone else is interested, the details are on OLPC's wiki:

Thanks for letting us know.

Is it working though on kernels newer than that? or do you have to set the
MAC addr manually?

I've got it working on 2.6.34-rc5-wl, branched off commit
~8425ee8329f33 sometimes near the end of April 2010. I've
significantly reworked some MAC addr stuff, including forcing the
module to request the MAC addr from the hardware and using that to set
the addr before the calls to setup mac80211.
I'm now working on getting it all up to head, so patches should be
coming soon. Actually, on that note, how would you prefer I get them
to you? We're talking about an entire new module, libertas_tf_sdio,
and lots of patches to the existing libertas_tf modules. Something
like 40+ patches. Would you prefer a patchset posted, or me to squash
a bunch into fewer but larger patches, or would you prefer to pull
from my git tree?

Ah, ok, but that's the thing I was worried about ... if you're now giving
it the MAC address before setting up the mac80211 stuff, you should be fine
(and we can remove the workaround from mac80211, yay)

Sounds like a lot of stuff... John will have to answer that. I think
posting it piecemeal as much as possible would probably be preferable.

Yes, just post the series. If you can separate it into a few
sub-series that might be nice, but don't sweat that too much.
