Rodriguez" To: linux-wireless Subject: Backported MQ requirement on 802.11n for older kernels Cc: compat-masters@lists.madwifi.org, "Rindjunsky, Ron" , "Johannes Berg" , tomas.winkler@intel.com, "Tim Gardner" , "John W. Linville" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: I just finished trying to backport CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE requirement for 802.11n to older kernels by relying on the old internal mac80211 hacked up MQ support. I've tested the build on 2.6.22, 2.6.23, and 2.6.24. Let me know if you get to test this, particularly iwl4965 using 11n on 2.6.22. Oh and if you're interested in helping with the compat-wireless work please subscribe to this new list: https://lists.madwifi.org/mailman/listinfo/compat-masters I called it compat-masters as compat-maintainers sounded too boring. You can also send compat-wireless patches there to not clutter linux-wireless mailing list. I'll soon enable automatic compile tests across each kernel we support in compat-wireless and only if it fails will you get a nagging e-mail on that list. This means no new compat-wireless package will be put on wireless.kernel.org unless we know it compiles fine on all kernels supported. This should prevent using from getting tarballs they can't compile. Luis
