Dreamplug to 3.11-rc3
Just updated the Dreamplug to Kernel 3.11-rc3.. Although the device is (relatively) old now, it does have the enormous benefit of being (almost**) fully supported by the mainstream Linux Kernel..
** The only ‘unsupported’ item is the Libertas wifi in Access Point (UAP) mode, but it is supported in ‘client’ mode…. The original patch to enable AP mode is very old, and even the ‘updated’ version doesn’t work with newer 3.x kernels..

For kernel 3.10 we have adapted the uap patch http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=src/patches/linux-3.10.39-add_libertas_uap.patch;h=be9a493a686fd3fab0b952a91ff57ad2cf45c680;hb=a257ce6b8dab0186455692f847c4dc6517198062
but im not sure if it still build with 3.11…
Thanks for the info, and link… I’m currently running kernel 3.15-rc on my DreamPlug, so it may not compile cleanly..
Still, getting it working with 3.10 is an achievement!
