From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Mon May 23 2011 - 20:02:14 EST


Before the world ended Linus decided to release v2.6.39 and now that
the show is not over we get to enjoy it. So we get the respective
backport of the 802.11 / BT / Ethernet drivers and subsystems
available to users on older kernels. The short and sweet details:

Vanilla release:

The "-sn" release (pending-stable and linux-next-cherry-picks patches applied):

Below just the compat.git and compat-wireless.git updates, to see the
respective kernel updates check the ChangeLog above. I've tested this
release with iwlagn on 2.6.38. Please report any issues.

===============================================
ChangeLog for compat-wireless for linux-2.6.39
===============================================

This is the ChangeLog for the Linux kernel project compat-wireless.
It provides a backport of a few Linux kernel subsystems down to
older kernels:

* 802.11
* Bluetooth
* Ethernet

For more details refer to the home page:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/

The compat-wireless project consists of code from three projects:

* The Linux kernel: linux-2.6-allstable.git
* Compat-wirelesS: compat-wireless.git
* Compat: compat.git

The compat-wireless stable releases incorporates code from from
each of these git trees for the respective upstream Linux kernel
stable release. A branch called linux-2.6.3x.y exists for each
stable release. Below we provide the ChangeLog of changes from
the previous branched release to the new branched release.
