* The concept behind this patch is borrowed from the existing Libertas driver code that populates multicast MAC addresses in the firmware once ethX interface is configured.
* This kernel accumulates the patches applied to test kernel C1 (and so obsoletes CO, A1, A2 and V1). To test pre 22.p14 firmwares the best kernel is still C1. To test 22.p14 this kernel should be used instead.
* The driver in this kernel must be overwritten by the one provided bellow (Test Libertas Driver v1)
* This kernel also includes the patch applied in Test Kernel A0.

Driver patch at: http://dev.laptop.org/raw-attachment/ticket/6993/0002-Wol_Signature_Filter.patch (plus patch applied to test kernel C1)

Kernel based on: Test kernel C1

Provided by: Ricardo Carrano (with patches from Javier Cardona, David Woodhouse and Marvell)

Installation instructions: same as for test kernel C0.

Comments:

  • This kernel accumulates the patches applied to test kernel C1 (and so obsoletes CO, A1, A2 and V1). To test pre 22.p14 firmwares the best kernel is still C1. To test 22.p14 this kernel should be used instead.
