[Bug 324] New: rt3070-kmod: Kernel module for wireless devices with Ralink's rt307x chipsets

http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324 Summary: rt3070-kmod: Kernel module for wireless devices with Ralink's rt307x chipsets Product: Package Reviews Version: Current Platform: All OS/Version: GNU/Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: Review Request AssignedTo: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org ReportedBy: oget.fedora(a)gmail.com CC: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org Blocks: 2 Estimated Hours: 0.0 kmod: SPEC: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/rt3070-kmod.spec SRPM: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/rt3070-kmod-2.0.1.0-1.fc10.src.rpm common: SPEC: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/rt3070.spec SRPM: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/rt3070-2.0.1.0-1.fc10.src.rpm rpmlint: W: no-documentation Docs are in common package W: summary-not-capitalized rt3070 kernel module(s) for 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.x86_64 That is because the module name is not capitalized itself (consistent with rt28x0 packages) W: unstripped-binary-or-object rt3070sta.ko can be ignored ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my candidate for the crappiest Linux driver ever created. They basically took the rt2870 driver and modified it to support rt3070. There is nothing wrong for them with stealing their own code. But there were a few issues that I had to solve: - For some reason they took an older rt2870 driver version and modified it. Hence the driver will not compile for Fedora kernels 2.6.25 and newer. So I had the re-introduce our iwe-stream patch. - They did not even bother to change the filenames or variable names in the code. The code says "rt2870" but it actually means "rt3070". Confusing. I had to rename the RT2870STA.DAT file to RT3070STA.DAT to avoid conflicts with our rt2870 kmod. Other than these two things, both the common and the kmod package is identical to our rt2870 packages in rpmfusion. I admit that this package is crap. But still, there might be people who can benefit from it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
