[PATCH] Generic HDLC WAN drivers - disable netif_carrier_off()

2005-11-24T22:10:08Z

As we are currently unable to fix the problem with carrier and protocol state signaling in net core I've to disable netif_carrier_off() calls used by WAN protocol drivers. The attached patch should make them working again. The remaining netif_carrier_*() calls in hdlc_fr.c are fine as they don't touch the physical device.

[PATCH] airo.c/airo_cs.c: correct prototypes

2005-11-11T05:18:55Z

This patch creates a file airo.h containing prototypes of the global functions in airo.c used by airo_cs.c . If you got strange problems with either airo_cs devices or in any other completely unrelated part of the kernel shortly or long after a airo_cs device was detected by the kernel, this might have been caused by the fact that caller and callee disagreed regarding the size of the first argument to init_airo_card()...

[PATCH] prism54 : Fix frame length

2005-11-11T05:18:54Z

prism54 is leaking information when passing transmits to the firmware. There is no requirement to adjust the length to >= ETH_ZLEN. Just pass the skb length (after possible adjustment). Signed-off-by: Roger While Acked-by: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] wireless/airo: Build fix

2005-10-15T00:10:12Z

The aironet PCI driver has a build dependency on ISA that prevent the driver to compile on systems that doesn't support ISA, like x86_64. The driver really doesn't depend on ISA, it does some ISA stuff in the initialization code, since the driver supports both ISA and PCI cards. So the driver should depend on ISA_DMA_API to build on all systems, and this will not hurt PCI at all.

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57Z

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[PATCH] orinoco: Information leakage due to incorrect padding

2005-10-05T03:37:21Z

The orinoco driver can send uninitialized data exposing random pieces of the system memory. This happens because data is not padded with zeroes when its length needs to be increased. Reported by Meder Kydyraliev Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
