The Netgear WG311NA (marvel 88somethng) pci cards are still on the missing 
list.  I was hoping that flurry of patches to libertas would all get in.

Various snippets from a rebuild:

  MODPOST vmlinux.o                                                                                          
WARNING: modpost: Found 5 section mismatch(es).                                                              
To see full details build your kernel with:                                                                  
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'

That has been there forever.

drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c: In function âmwl8k_config_wtâ:

(declared at include/net/mac80211.h:599)

I did see a warning about a type miss-match go by during the build:

drivers/net/wireless/libertas/if_spi.c: In function âif_spi_c2h_dataâ:                                            
drivers/net/wireless/libertas/if_spi.c:739: warning: format â%luâ expects type 
âlong unsigned intâ, but argument 4 has type âunsigned intâ

And later:

net/mac80211/main.c: In function âieee80211_bss_info_change_notifyâ:                                                                   
net/mac80211/main.c:293: warning: âbeacon_intâ is deprecated (declared at 
include/net/mac80211.h:593)                                  
net/mac80211/main.c: In function âieee80211_alloc_hwâ:                                                                                 
net/mac80211/main.c:714: warning: âradio_enabledâ is deprecated (declared at 
include/net/mac80211.h:599)

Other than that the build was fairly clean, and I'm running it.  But still no 
wireless. :(

Thanks.
