em8300 working with recent kernels again. Pushed to github

Hi All,
em8300 with recent kernels has been broken for too long ;-)
I pushed fixes for em8300 to work with 3.0 kernels to my github repository:
git://github.com/uluckas/em8300.git

The fixes are missing some #ifdef KERNEL_VERSION an so most likely break 
older builds. Sorry, I don't have the time to find out which fix is 
needed by which kernel version.

Feel free to pull to where ever the current 'official' repository is.

And big thanks to every one who contributed to the code in the repository.

regards,
Uli

Thanks for your work

I will check whats different to my repositroy found at
https://github.com/austriancoder/em8300

I only announced this repository on the VDR maillinglist in a
thread about the dxr3 and newer kernels. I will do a merge
of the changes and if its okay I will plan to do a release
of a new version at the weekend.

Re: em8300 working with recent kernels again. Pushed to github

Hi Christian,
thanks for all your work around dxr3! I love that old card :-)

So please feel free to use any code out of my repository that might be 
useful.

I found your repository only after I had my code ready. At that point I 
realized, our common root is far down in the revision tree.
I based my fix on 0.18. It looks like you branched alot earlier. Does it 
make sense for you to merge back into the old tree?

best regards,
Uli

I'm looking into merging it to the official sf.net hg tree after I've
done some testing with the kernels I have at hand, assuming things look
fine.  Unless of course Nicolas yells - I haven't heard from him in a
while :)

Christian, if you plan to do a release from your tree, I suggest naming
it something different than just "em8300" (for example
"em8300-cgmeiner") to avoid confusion.

Seems to work fine for me with 2.6.35.14, 2.6.38.8, and 3.0.6.

Ditto 3.1 -- pushed to hg along with a trivial followup patch.

Re: em8300 working with recent kernels again. Pushed to github

Hi Ville,

could you release a new version of the driver? 3.x kernels are getting used -
for instance, http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources

thanks

No yelling.
It's right that it's a huge time since I last did anything useful for 
the em8300 drivers, and I'm sorry for this. I wish I could fine some 
time to devote to this drivers (and also to Debian, but that's 
off-topic here), but I've been too busy with real life "lately".
Anyway, I'm glad to see that there are still some people who are willing 
to improve this drivers and keep them up-to-date. Thanks!
(Note that I also still use this good old card daily, but currently with 
a very old kernel. I also still have some ideas for improvements, but no 
time to implement them.)

Cheers,

Nicolas

Hi all,

nice to hear things are going ahead ;)

Asa a release is done, I'm going to package for *buntu on my PPA and for 
Debian on my server.

Roman

I thought our main hg repository at sf.net is dead, but that's fine
for me if you maintain
the driver at sf and do a release. As a result I will remove my em8300
driver repository
at github.

Btw, here are some information's about my try of getting the em8300
driver into mainline:

* got some changes needed for adv7170 and adv7175 driver into mainline
- will be in 3.3
* done a big removal of of old stuff needed for older kernels
