Hi Folks,

The 0.1.13-pre1 is up at
ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/

The PF_PACKET patch hasn't been rolled into this release. I haven't
gotten it to build cleanly on all my test machines yet.

Note the "-pre1" stuff is back. Per Pavel's suggestion on the list, we're
using -preX versions as feature-frozen betas. When the bug
reports/patches settle down, it will become the _real_ 0.1.13. See the
document doc/releasepolicy.txt for a quick rundown of how we're trying to
handle this. I won't be in-touch or online until Monday so we'll be in
the -pre1 state at least until then.

PCI USERS NOTE!!!
I suspicious that the changes induced by the USB work have broken
something in the native PCI driver. If you observe these problems, you'll
probably have to go all the way back to 0.1.10 to find a version that
works OK.

PUMP USERS NOTE!!!
The change in behavior for 'ifconfig up/down' (see 0.1.11 CHANGES) is
incompatible with the pump dhcp client. It looks like we're going to
have to change everything back to the pre-0.1.11 behavior. I'll be
posting a note about this on the devel list shortly.

Here's the change overview from the changelog:

0.1.13
  - Fixed a patch induced (not sure which patch) Makefile syntax error.
  - Added rfloeter's cool Wireless Extensions patch which was kindly
    updated to 0.1.12 by pizza. Note that my own testing of this patch has
    been minimal but I've had reports of folks who are using it successfully.
    NOTE: The addition of this patch adds the requirement that Wireless
    Extensions (version >= 10) be compiled into one's kernel.
  - DOH! some somewhat kind soul on the lists pointed out that the keygen
    program wasn't in the distributed tarball. Basically, I forgot to
    check it into CVS, therefore the distribution build script couldn't
    find it. Ahem...it's now in CVS and should be included in the tarballs.
  - Added pizza's patch fixing the "netlink disable" patch. The
    p80211ind_* functions need to be handled individually instead of two
    giant #if's, but that's a task for another day.
  - Added theBS's patch for making the /etc stuff installation relative and
    installing the FIXINST scripts for USB.
  - Added crankin's SMP deadlock fix patch.

Have Fun!

-Mark
