+ Generic patches for vanilla Linux kernel
000-linux_mips.patch
This is the diff between vanilla linux-2.4.30 and linux-mips.org kernel
(CVS tag 2_4_30 used). The kernel source from linux-mips.org CVS repository has
newer drivers and code then vanilla linux-2.4.30 especially for the mips architecture.
-001-bcm47xx.patch
- This is the broadcom specific code from asus (1941) GPL source tarball.
- There are many small patches included, so it works with linux 2.4.30 kernel.
- The original code is based on Linux 2.4.20.
-
-002-wl_fix.patch
- The driver for the wireless lan chip on brcm47xx based routers is binary only.
- This means it depends on older data structures in the kernel. We backported some
- of the changes or changed some of the data structures to work with the binary modul.
- This is a really bad hack, but without source code, there is no better chance to get
- the driver working with newer kernels.
