[PATCH] depca update (was Re: [Patch] DMA mapping API for Alpha)

this patch has been sleeping
in Alan tree for quite some time. It updates the depca driver to the
EISA/sysfs API, gets rid of check_region, and properly reserve memory
region. Patch is against latest BK.

[PATCH] better ali1563 integrated ethernet support

it turns out the tulip driver is a much better driver for the integrated
ali1563 ethernet than the dmfe driver... the dmfe driver gets tx timeouts
every ~15s and can't receive over 5MB/s. but with the small tulip patch
below i'm seeing 11MB/s+ in both directions without problems.

<paulus@samba.org> (03/05/11 1.1110)
[PATCH] Update mac ethernet drivers

This patch updates the bmac and mace ethernet drivers so that their
interrupt routines return an irqreturn_t, and updates the bmac driver
to use a spinlock rather than global cli/sti.

<jt@bougret.hpl.hp.com> (03/05/11 1.1109)
[PATCH] WE-16 for Wavelan Pcmcia driver

This patch update the Wavelan Pcmcia driver for Wireless
Extensions 16, and also remove all the backward compatibility cruft
that is broken anyway.

<jt@bougret.hpl.hp.com> (03/05/11 1.1108)
[PATCH] WE-16 for Wavelan ISA driver

This update the Wavelan ISA driver for Wireless Extension 16
(going with my previous patch).

<jt@bougret.hpl.hp.com> (03/05/11 1.1107)
[PATCH] Wireless Extension 16

This patch for 2.5.68-bk11 will update Wireless Extension to
version 16 :
o increase bitrate and frequency number for 802.11g/802.11a
o enhanced iwspy support
o minor tweaks and cleanups

This patch is only for the core of WE. The patches for the
individual drivers have been sent to their respective maintainers.
Compared to the previous version I sent you a few weeks ago,
I've just updated to the latest kernel.

<jt@bougret.hpl.hp.com> (03/05/11 1.1106)
[PATCH] irq fixes for wavelan_cs/netwave_cs

This patch for 2.5.68-bk11 will fix the irq handler of some
obsolete wireless drivers (wavelan, wavelan_cs and netwave_cs) plus
assorted fixes. All those drivers have been tested on a SMP box.

<hch@lst.de> (03/05/11 1.1105)
[PATCH] switch sb1000 to new style net init & pnp

This cleans up the driver big time and gets rid of a big ugly wart
in setup.c. Note that I don't have the hardware so this is only
compile-tested.
