2013-10-23backports: remove DRM driverHauke Mehrtens
Maintaining the DRM driver takes a lot of recourses as there they are depending on many API changes done to the core kernel code and currently we do not have that many recourses to follow them. On the other side one needs also new userspace drivers to make use of the new features added to the DRM kernel drivers and it is not easy to update the X drivers. Therefore we came to the conclusion to remove the drm drivers for now. There were also some problems with some DRM drivers, like the Intel i915 driver caused kernel panic on some systems and was probably only usable on some very recent kernel versions.

2013-08-27remove support for kernel 2.6.24Johannes Berg
By requiring 2.6.25 we can get rid of quite a lot of backport work. 2.6.25 was released more than five years ago (April 2011) and wasn't a long-term kernel either, so there's little point in supporting it now.

2013-07-12backports: Fix and document EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() preferenceLuis R. Rodriguez
In terms of project naming the backports project has evolved as follows: compat-wireless --> compat-drivers --> backports All along the design and intent behind the initial project has been to provide a framework for delivery of *upstream* drivers using a backported infrastructure. I've made it clear that in no way shape or form did I ever want any proprietary driver to make use of the framework. As the project has grown I'm not alone with this sentiment so lets document that and also fix a few symbols that have slipped along the way. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@do-not-panic.com>

Clean up all the things this won't use/need. I'm going to add things back bit by bit instead of trying to base it on the current version. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
2012-08-22Switch README to markdown formatOzan Çağlayan
github interprets and formats .md (markdown) in a very fashioned way. See how it looks and you can decide to use markdown in your readme: https://github.com/ozancaglayan/compat-drivers/tree/markdown Its 2012, README's are ancient.

2012-08-06compat-wireless: Rename compat-wireless to compat-driversOzan Çağlayan
This first patch touches mostly cosmetic parts to change compat-wireless -> compat-drivers.

* A description of the differences of the stable and the normal version of compat wireless was added. * Some outdated parts are now up to date * replaceing the developing section with version in the wiki These changes are needed because some people are tiring to build their own compat-wireless version based on wireless-testing and some people choose compat-wireless stable based on their currently running kernel version.

2009-12-28compat-2.6: New targets to compile bluetooth aloneBala Shanmugam
Compiling compat-pacakage consumes more time as both wireless and bluetooth modules are compiled. For someone who wants to use bluetooth alone compiling and installing wireless modules is unnecessary and is time consuming. New targets are declared to compile, install, uninstall, load and unload bluetooth modules seperately. Usage is updated in README. Signed-off-by: Bala Shanmugam <sbalashanmugam@atheros.com>
