Hello, this is pretty much the same patch that Anders Grafström sent on
6/18. I think it looks good; I am sorry I missed this. I think this
can be ok'ed if folks can test it on a few different ARM platforms and
of course x86.
I am getting sinus surgery this Monday but I should be back in the
office within a week. I will give it a try then. I will test it on an
ixp425 board and an PXA255 board. Just so you know, I found the
in-kernel packet generator to be a good test. I also found using the
board as a router between wired and wireless devices to catch issues
that led me to posting patches for this driver in the first place.
