I created a patch for 2.6.26 which adds the software-based RF-switch
to the kernel. I extracted the main parts of fsaa1655g.c (see bug
#631664) and patched it against fujitsu-laptop.c. Now I can switch
on my wifi.
Neat. Please forgive my laziness: how does this compare to
http://marvec.org/amilo/fsaa1655g-kernel-2.6.26.tar.bz2
?
The point is: This patch runs fine on lenny, but it prevents me to
upgrade to squeeze. Building the module against kernel 2.6.32 in squeeze
results in errors. So I edited the source and now it runs on kernel 2.6.32.
But I have to do this every time I update the Kernel. This is a laptop
of a friend who doesn't have the knowledge of building a new kernel. So
I prefer an inside-the-kernel solution.
Have you tried contacting platform-driver-...@vger.kernel.org,
Martin Večeřa (ja on the server marvec.org), and Jonathan Woithe
<jwoi...@physics.adelaide.edu.au> to talk about what it would take to
get the patch to apply to a recent kernel and get it merged into
mainline?
The file Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the kernel
source contains some instructions for getting feedback on patches.
Not yet. Thank you for submitting the addresses. I'll contact them as
soon as possible.
Tino
