Hi there, I would like to remove the #ifdefs for Linux 2.4 support in if_ath_ahb.c completely. They make the code messy and the system code that's required for WiSoC devices is not in mainline anyway. The only way to use this 2.4 code is to use the Linux SDK, which Atheros gives out to their customers (and which contains a different driver already). Since the rewritten WiSoC system code in OpenWrt is superior to the Linux 2.4 stuff in every way, I doubt there's much reason to keep the old cruft around. What do you guys think? - Felix |

I'm considering a change in the code that would allow compiling ath_pci and ath_ahb in the same time. Removing obsolete code from ath_ahb would likely help. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |
