Hi, This particular change is required on for the multicast to work successfully on Linux kernel 2.6.28.2. I thought through this forum I can make others to use this patch to resolve multicast issue. I accept that I am new to open source. If any proper way to make multicast to work, please suggest otherwise discard the patch. For me this patch is working to receive IGMP packets over the Wireless network Thanks & Regards, Girish L&T IES, KIADB Industrial Area, Hebbal-Hootagalli, Mysore - 570 018 Telephone : DID+91-821-2405552 Mobile: +91-9741206402 E-mail ID :Girish.BN@lnties.com www.lnties.com This mail is classified as : ( ) L&T IES Proprietary ( ) L&T IES Confidential (X) L&T IES Internal Use ( ) L&T IES General Business -----Original Message----- From: Johannes Berg [mailto:johannes@sipsolutions.net] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2013 4:43 PM To: Girish Bn Cc: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: patch : mac80211:Multicast patch for linux-2.6.28.1 (wl12xx drivers) On Mon, 2013-02-18 at 12:11 +0100, Johannes Berg wrote: > On Mon, 2013-02-18 at 11:09 +0000, Girish Bn wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > The below patch file is required in order for the multicasting to > > work properly on Linux kernel below 3.2 for wl12xx drivers diff -Naur a/net/mac80211/iface.c b/net/mac80211/iface.c > > --- a/net/mac80211/iface.c 2012-09-22 22:59:15.000000000 +0530 > > +++ b/net/mac80211/iface.c 2013-02-07 12:06:03.958268798 +0530 > > @@ -811,6 +811,9 @@ > > .ndo_uninit = ieee80211_teardown_sdata, > > .ndo_start_xmit = ieee80211_subif_start_xmit, > > .ndo_set_rx_mode = ieee80211_set_multicast_list, > > +#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3,2,0)) > > + .ndo_set_multicast_list = > > +ieee80211_set_multicast_list, #endif > > LOL.

For me this patch is > working to receive IGMP packets over the Wireless network This particular patch is not required upstream because upstream has long moved past 2.6.28(.2). If you need this included in TI's special compat version you need to talk to them. In any case, I cannot and will not apply patches to any tree that carry a "confidential information" footer and/or don't have a sign-off. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
