linux.git/drivers/staging/rt2870/common, branch v2.6.30 Linux kernel source tree Staging: rt2870: Removal of kernel_thread() API 2009-04-03T21:53:31+00:00 Peter Teoh htmldeveloper@gmail.com 2009-03-20T18:20:23+00:00 d44ca7af9e79abf4e80514583734cffed1117ee1 Replacing the use of kernel_thread() with kthread_run(). But as kthread_run() returned a task structure, as compared with kernel_thread() returning a PID, it was found to be more efficient to store the task structure pointer as a field data instead of PID pointer. On top of modifying the field to store task structure pointer, the initialization of the field (assigned to THREAD_PID_INIT_VALUE) was also found unnecessary - as no where it is found to be used.

Staging: add rt2870 wireless driver 2009-01-06T21:52:35+00:00 Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@suse.de 2008-12-18T01:04:23+00:00 c55519ff75224222f4668c92ae3733059269f575 This is the Ralink RT2870 driver from the company that does horrible things like reading a config file from /etc. However, the driver that is currently under development from the wireless development community is not working at all yet, so distros and users are using this version instead (quite common hardware on a lot of netbook machines). So here is this driver, for now, until the wireless developers get a "clean" version into the main tree, or until this version is cleaned up sufficiently to move out of the staging tree. Ported to the Linux build system and cleaned up a bit already by me. Cc: Linux wireless <linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
