Too bad gmane patches can't be applied directly, they seems to contain
very strange <at> inside....
However, manually patching seems to be Ok. Kernel is now booting
correctly, and I have :
...
802.1Q VLAN Support v1.8 Ben Greear <[email protected]>
All bugs added by David S. Miller <[email protected]>
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation
<[email protected]>
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'WEP'
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'CCMP'
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP'
...
and after some iwconfig configuration steps, I have :
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr
00:15:AF:0F:D7:90 inet addr:192.168.1.34 Bcast:192.168.1.255
Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::215:afff:fe0f:d790/64

collisions:0
txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4798 (4.6 KiB) TX bytes:4566 (4.4
KiB)
These two patches are a "must be" for 2.6.23 !!!
Eric, feel confident, it seems really to do the trick, and the changes are
subtle and mostly harmless.
Regards,
Paul
