From: Dave Taht To: OpenWrt Development List , Gabor Juhos , bloat-devel Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-BeenThere: bloat-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.13 Precedence: list List-Id: "Developers working on AQM, device drivers, and networking stacks" List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2011 06:33:50 -0000 I am curious as to if anyone was working on getting the ar71xx arch and drivers upstream? It appears that the ath79 arch was intended to be the same thing, but has nearly no users in the upstream kernel aside from two boards, and was last worked on back in april... the ar71xx patches in openwrt supports 43 boards at present and a great deal of additional (and possibly duplicated) functionality. http://nbd.name/gitweb.cgi?p=3Dopenwrt.git;a=3Dtree;f=3Dtarget/linux/ar71xx= /files/arch/mips/ar71xx;h=3D878ba990e3b04c98e5e244011a82177e465f405a;hb=3DH= EAD So I'm curious as to what were the show-stoppers aside from the name change and the huge backlog of boards and specialized devices? (I see that the usb drivers are different, and I have no idea if the ag71xx ethernet driver is actually in there in some form under some name) (msg somewhat triggered by seeing the drivers/net directory getting re-organized in linux 3.2 and trying to hack in BQL on top of the existing patchset) --=20 Dave T=E4ht SKYPE: davetaht http://www.bufferbloat.net
