* [PATCH] WE-19 for kernel 2.6.13Jean Tourrilhes2005-09-061-14/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi Jeff, This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small. The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take advantage ot it ? It includes : o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback. o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at peace with it. o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it was not even painful. o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's now gone for good. o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11 stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-) All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on my web pages for a while... Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective maintainers. Have fun...

* [PATCH] Wireless Extensions 18 (aka WPA)2005-05-121-3/+280
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is version 18 of the Wireless Extensions. The main change is that it adds all the necessary APIs for WPA and WPA2 support. This work was entirely done by Jouni Malinen, so let's thank him for both his hard work and deep expertise on the subject ;-) This APIs obviously doesn't do much by itself and works in concert with driver support (Jouni already sent you the HostAP changes) and userspace (Jouni is updating wpa_supplicant). This is also orthogonal with the ongoing work on in-kernel IEEE support (but potentially useful). The patch is attached, tested with 2.6.11. Normally, I would ask you to push that directly in the kernel (99% of the patch has been on my web page for ages and it does not affect non-WPA stuff), but Jouni convinced me that it should bake a few weeks in wireless-2.6 first, so that other driver maintainers can get up to speed with it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
