2008-01-31rtl8180_dev.c: add support for 1799:700fAdrian Bassett
I have been using the rtl8180 driver via the git kernel route for a while now and would like to suggest that the following local ammendment is included in the development tree in order to support the PCI device 1799:700f. This device is found on the 'Belkin Wireless G Desktop Card' product, model 'F5D7000uk'. From memory, the chip on the card is inscribed RTL8185L; (I don't know the significance of the 'L', I'm afraid). Signed-off-by: Adrian Bassett <adrian.bassett@hotmail.co.uk> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28mac80211: dont use interface indices in driversJohannes Berg
This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and contains a variable length driver-use data area. This has two advantages: * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better for working with network namespaces and performance * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without having to allocate own lists/hash tables Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28Add rtl8180 wireless driverMichael Wu
This patch adds a mac80211 based wireless driver for the rtl8180 and rtl8185 PCI wireless cards. Also included are some rtl8187 changes required due to the relationship between that driver and this one. Michael Wu is primarily responsible for the initial driver and rtl8185 support. Andreas Merello provided the additional rtl8180 support. Thanks to Jukka Ruohonen for the donating a rtl8185 card! It was very helpful for the rtl8225z2 code. The Signed-off-by information below is collected from the individual patches submitted to wireless-2.6 before merging this driver upstream.
